I'm using SLES 10 and am utilizing high speed transfers on a 100mbit network. I have a DELL server with two onboard e1000 adapters. Both run the e1000 module. Both interfaces are hard set speed/duplex using ethtool. For eth0 it is set to 100/full, and eth1 is set to 1000/full.
Whenever yast is used to change the interfaces, or upon system boot, the eth0 interface comes up with a txqueuelen of 100. The gigabit enabled adpater comes up with a txqueuelen of 1000. Would anyone know where this value of 100 might be getting picked up when the interface starts?
This is the driver being used
driver: e1000
version: 7.0.33-NAPI
firmware-version: N/A
bus-info: 0000:06:07.0

thanks for any help with this, it is very annoying! I never had this problem with this same server using SLES 9, and this problem is really got me confused.

does anyone have any opinions on this on what might be causing this issue?

I downgraded the module to 6.3.29 and the problem went away. Does anyone else have any opinions on this issue and how it can be resolved for the new module? - thanks
