hpad06 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 I am using unraid-server-version-50-rc5-r8168-aio , however I am only getting 10Mb/s. I have tried to force to 1000, however it doesn't work. What can I do to make it connects as 1000 ? I bought this cheap Gigabit PCIe card from eBay, it lists as HX 8111d, when I googled it , it seems to be using RTL8111C. This is my ethtool info Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 10Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on MDI-X: Unknown Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000033 (51) Link detected: yes Thanks Quote Link to comment
limetech Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Please try 5.0-rc8a. Quote Link to comment
hpad06 Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 I have upgraded to 5.0-rc8a, still the same. And it seems it's using R8168 driver. ethtool eth0 Settings for eth0: Supported ports: [ TP ] Supported link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Supports auto-negotiation: Yes Advertised link modes: 10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full 1000baseT/Full Advertised pause frame use: Symmetric Receive-only Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes Speed: 10Mb/s Duplex: Full Port: Twisted Pair PHYAD: 0 Transceiver: internal Auto-negotiation: on MDI-X: Unknown Supports Wake-on: pumbg Wake-on: g Current message level: 0x00000033 (51) Link detected: yes lsmod | grep r8168 r8168 223272 0 Quote Link to comment
hpad06 Posted December 12, 2012 Author Share Posted December 12, 2012 I tried it on windows 7, I am only getting 100Mb/s. I am guessing this card is badly built and not able to run at 1G. Maybe I should get another card. Quote Link to comment
JonathanM Posted December 12, 2012 Share Posted December 12, 2012 Can you get a good 1Gb connection with another pc on the same cable and switch port? Quote Link to comment
darkside40 Posted December 13, 2012 Share Posted December 13, 2012 If you cant get 1GB try switching the cable. I once bought cheap Cat 6 cabels to find out that only 6 of 8 cable where correctly connected and i searched for hours why the card would only work with 100MBit. Quote Link to comment
hpad06 Posted December 13, 2012 Author Share Posted December 13, 2012 I have switched PC and cable, on unraid I still only get 10M, on windows 7 I still get 1000M. I am guessing maybe this card I bought from eBay is too cheaply built. Quote Link to comment
