["P.O.L." <pekka.linna@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I can confirm that the JMC250 driver "jme version 1.0.8" which is part
of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS does NOT support EEE (802.3az) at 1000 Mbit/s. It
seems to support EEE ports at 100M, though.

Evidence:

When using a managed switch Zyxel GS1900-8, enabling the EEE at the
switch port will prevent connection and the PC indicates that the
ethernet cable is disconnected. When disabling EEE at that port, the PC
connects immediately at 1000M.

When using "unmanaged" switches (I tried TrendNet TEG-S50g), the only
solution I have found is the same as above:  force the connection to 100
Mbit/s.  There is no way to disable EEE  (which the vendor calls
"Greennet").

           sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full.

The Trendnet unmanaged switch works fine at 1000M with Windows 7.

Title:
  JMicron JMC250 ethernet: networking always disconnected

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  What is expected in 14.04 is ethernet networking works when cable
  connected. What happens instead is it always shows "disconnected",
  even when cable connected.

  In Ubuntu 12.04, this same ethernet controller also exhibited the same
  problem. However it was fixable by downloading and manually compiling
  a new version of the jme drivers from here:
  ftp://driver.jmicron.com.tw/Ethernet/Linux/jmebp-1.0.8.5.tar.bz . In
  14.04, the above 1.0.8.5 driver no longer compiles and is thus not
  installable. I tried downloading and compiling the latest source for
  the driver from
  https://github.com/torvalds/linux/blob/master/drivers/net/ethernet/jme.c.
  This driver does compile, but after installation still doesn't work,
  with the wired network status always showing "disconnected".

  Output of dmesg | grep jme
  [    2.044151] jme: JMicron JMC2XX ethernet driver version 1.0.8
  [    2.044209] jme 0000:02:00.5: can't disable ASPM; OS doesn't have ASPM control

  WORKAROUND: The following terminal command provides 100 Mbps ethernet speed:
  sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full
