Re: [CentOS] C5 64-bit on Dell not seeing 1 GB link

I've got a Dell Precision Workstation 490 with 64-bit Centos 5, fully updated, with an on-board Broadcom 57xx gigabit Ethernet controller, updated BIOS, 1 GB switch, and /var/log/messages and dmesg both claim the link is 100 Mb, not 1 GB.

I tried setting eth0 to mtu 9000 but got an error in going so.

What do I need to do to have the card see 1 gb?

Thanks.

I'm seeing the same problem on some (well, all but one of my) 32bit IBM xSeries 335 machines. They're all connected to Foundry switches, though not all the same switch. I'm wondering if it has to do with https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=330181. There are some test packages listed in that bugzilla...
