Title:
Broadcom BCM57780 Cannot Connect at Gigabit Speed using tg3 module.
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Won't Fix
Bug description:
I've got a device with a Broadcom 57780 ethernet NIC. It uses the
tg3.ko driver module. The problem is that this NIC cannot connect at
gigabit (1000MBps) speed. In all cases connection works well at
100MBps. Following are the tests I've completed:
- Cables tested with cable tester
- Cables tested to work at gigabit speed with Realtek and Intel gigabit NICs.
- All unmanaged switch ports tested at ggigabit speed with other NICs.
- Tried to connect with NetworkManager enabled and disabled.
- Tried both dhcp and static connections.
- Tried to renegotiate connection with `ethtool -r` both with TSO enabled and
disabled.
- Tried 3.2.0-23-generic 3.5.0-15-generic3.5.0-17-generic 3.6.0-999-generic
kernels from main, xorg-edgers and mainline repos.
- Used 'tg3_debug=1' kernel option in grub with the following output:

Other distros' forums suggest loading broadcom.ko first; however, this
module is no present.
