    There is no means of adding another ethernet card is this style of machine (Unless you mean USB which is unacceptable.). And it has the latest BIOS version as you stated from 2007.

    No. I would have did that and been done with this. 

     

    I still feel the issue is what it's detecting and not the drivers age. 

     

     

  2. But under windows it supports full gigabit? And has been for 4 years.

     

    After diving into this for a couple hours it seems that kernel is misidentifying the ISA Bridge ID.

     

    What it's looking for is the SiS965 and what I have is the SiS966

     

    00:02.0 ISA bridge [0601]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS966 [MuTIOL Media IO] [1039:0966] (rev 59) 

     

    As for the Ethernet Adapter is presents itself as.

     

    00:04.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 191 Gigabit Ethernet Adapter [1039:0191] (rev 01)

     

    It seems like I need to change/add the Bridge ID for the SIS966 in the kernel to match what I have. This is above my pay grade.

     

    Also, Statically setting the negotiating speed on the switch (all three - Cisco, Mikrotik or the Netgear) to 100mbit Full Duplex has no effect.
