jchronakis, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any
activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If
so, could you please test for this with the latest development release
of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com
/daily-live/current/ .

If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in
the development release from a Terminal
(Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather
and attach updated debug information to this report:

apport-collect -p linux <replace-with-bug-number>

Also, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Please do not test the daily folder, but the one all the way at the bottom. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example:
kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.11

This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER

As well, please remove the tag:
needs-upstream-testing

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's
Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your
understanding.

Title:
  Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet fails to work as gigabit and works
  only in 100MBs

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “linux-ubuntu-modules-2.6.24” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  The onboard Marvell 88E8001 Gigabit Ethernet controler on an ASUS
  P4P800-E Deluxe works only at 100MB/s.

  I am using Ubuntu Hardy with all the updates installed.
  This is happening with linux-generic package versions 2.6.24-16 to 2.6.24-19. It still happens with linux-backports-modules-hardy installed.

  The card with the same switch, cabling, lan etc works normally in
  Gigabit mode, when I am booting on windows. The switch is D-link DGS
  1005D.

  Using ethtool to tune speed has no effect. Disabling auto negotiation
  cause the card to fail to connect completely

  $ sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000
  The lights on the switch show the card as gigabit momentarily and then switch back to the 100MBps indication. The card works at 100MBps

  $ sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 1000 autoneg off
  The card fails to negotiate completely. I can see from the switch that it keeps trying to connect at gigabit speed (lights on for a second and off for three four seconds.
