hnak Posted September 3, 2013 Author Share Posted September 3, 2013 It's there a way to rally check the internal lan speed.. I suppose the text written in the system log is 100.. but this is always written even if I force negotiation to 1000 LAN adapters/switches usually have LEDs to indicate connection speed. You can also launch Network Utilities.app in /Applications/Utilities to get the basic information of all the network adapters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugo_bee Posted September 3, 2013 Share Posted September 3, 2013 Ok. I did all . Removed entries.. and plist. I discovered that I cannot do a manual setup of negotiation. So I have to repeat all the story from scratch.. because I had my troubles supposing I changed properly the speed. I mean: If I move the setting to Manual, select 1000, and click APPLY.. I never come back to see if the OS kept my choices! but.. I discovered that it never keep any manual choice. So it always stay in automatic.. and keep 100full. the system is connected directly to a switch gigabit. and yes it's blinking 100. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The driver always try to negotiate best possible speed, i.e. ignores manual speed settings. So, it seems failing in negotiating 1Gbit link with your switch. Can you link up at 1Gbps using other operating systems ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugo_bee Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 don't know. sincerely. I never want to install windows .. yes I can try a live ubuntu.. but.. I know I'll have gigabit with ubuntu other peripherals connected to the switch are gigabit. yes.. I bought that switch only to have my lan gigabit. my next switch will be a jumbo frame gigabit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinga11 Posted September 4, 2013 Share Posted September 4, 2013 hy i'm using that latest driver.. I see it's loaded in the kextstat as com.insanelymac.driver.AppleE1000e (2.4.14) mine is 82579v my mobo is Asus maximus Gene V the problem is that it's only 100Mb Full Duplex.. never 1000 ! if I force manually the setup .. it run 100 and I see it in the System.log log. have you really verified that?? how to have really gigabit lan?? bye I have the same ethernet chipset and it is curious I had not realized until now but I am having the same issue. AppleIntelE1000e(Info): e1000e NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinga11 Posted September 5, 2013 Share Posted September 5, 2013 Prev releases never works.. it showed ..connected.. but no traffic Only the latest works..but only 100 But unlike you this Kext has worked for me since the first version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hugo_bee Posted September 8, 2013 Share Posted September 8, 2013 better it let me select manually .. but 1000 link down only 100 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hnak Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 better it let me select manually .. but 1000 link down only 100 Manual setting can be only used to limit the link speed, cannot make it higher than auto-negotiation. Try different cable/switch/NIC. By the way, I just uploaded the TSO enabled one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D-an-W Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 Auto-negotiation isn't working in 2.5.4b. You have to manually set the link speed etc. I think thats the same here too, should the greyed out boxes in Advanced > Hardware have info in them telling the connection speed?

Riley Freeman Posted September 9, 2013 Share Posted September 9, 2013 No, if Configure is set to automatic then they won't show anything. But with this version, you have to change Configure from "Automatically" to "Manually" and then set Speed to either 1000 or 100 (depending on your router) and duplex to full-duplex. That's going by what my NIC shows in Windows (100/full-duplex). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
