[clue-tech] ethtool is a lying sack of snake spittle

[David L. Willson]

ethtool reports eth0 connected at Gig E full duplex, but transfer speeds over NFS, and every other test I can think of, indicate 100 Mb. Today, I looked at the switch, and it too, indicates 100Mb. What gives? Is there another, better tool for diagnosing and twiddling network settings?
