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

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired
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.
