Bug ID: 390518
Summary: Fedora27: By default connection editor sets Ethernet
to "no auto", 100MBits/s half duplex
Product: plasma-nm
Version: 5.11.5
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm
Assignee: jgrul...@redhat.com
Reporter: te...@beam.ltd.uk
Target Milestone: ---
If the /etc/sysconfig/ifcfg-Wired_connection_1 or appropriate file does not
contain an "ETHTOOL_OPTS" entry then the connection editor defaults to "autoneg
off, 100 MBits/s, half duplex" for an Ethernet interface.
This also occurs when creating a new "ifcfg-*" file when none exist. It is easy
to miss this and the interface gets hard coded to 100 MBits/s operation.
I think the default should be "autoneg on" when not actually configured.
This seems like a recent change in behaviour (don't remember seeing the
100Mbits option before).
I noticed 4 of my systems had changed to 100MBits/ half duplex when they should
have been "autoneg" at 1GBits/s. This change "appears" to have been written
into the ifcfg-* files somehow during a RPM update in the past 2 weeks rather
than user driven but it is difficult to confirm this.
See: k...@lists.fedoraproject.org, "Fedora27: KDE-Plasma/networkManager:
Ethernet interfaces set to 100MBits/sec half duplex"
