I tried the steps from this recommendation in the README for the
driver from Intel (since it sounded very much like the problem I'm
experiencing) but it did not help:
82541/82547 can't link or is slow to link with some link partners
-----------------------------------------------------------------
There is a known compatibility issue where time to link is slow or link i=
s not
established between 82541/82547 controllers and some switches. Known swi=
tches
include:
Planex FXG-08TE
I-O Data ETG-SH8
The driver can be compiled with the following changes:
Edit ./em.x.x.x/src/if_em.h to change the #define EM_MASTER_SLAVE
For example, change from:
#define EM_MASTER_SLAVE e1000_ms_hw_default
to:
#define EM_MASTER_SLAVE 2
