Please try this while running kernel version 2.6.32: 1. Enable additional error logging by running: ethtool -s eth0 msglvl 0x3f 2. Enable autoneg again 3. Disconnect and reconnect the cable 4. Check for any new error messages in the kernel log Also send the output of each of these commands when autoneg is enabled and the cable connected, under 2.6.30 and under 2.6.32: 1. ethtool eth0 2. ethtool -d eth0 3. mii-tool eth0 Ben. -- Ben Hutchings Once a job is fouled up, anything done to improve it makes it worse.
