Bonding slaves show link speed as 100Mbps for gigabit slave interfaces (netxen_nic driver) in /proc/net/bonding on RHEL 5
Issue
- While '
ethtool' correctly reports 1000mbps speed for my NIC, why is/proc/net/bonding/bond0reporting 'Speed: 100 Mbps' sometimes? - Subsequent executions of '
service network restart' provoke different values for interface speed to be reported in/proc/net/bonding/bond0, sometimes the reported speed is correct.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8 and below
- kernel 2.6.18-274.7.1.el5
- HP NC375T Quadport Gigabit Network Interface Card (NIC)
netxen_nickernel driver module used
