Connection only at 100Mbps

[larbac]

Hi

My system was formated a few weeks ago with version 18.04.
Previously I had 16.04.
Before my internet connection worked at about 900Mbps (I have 1Gbps).
After the format and installation of 18.04, the speed went down.
The cables, switchs, etc are all the same.

This is the result of the command of sudo lshw -C network
sudo lshw -C network

The speed is 100Mbits. Why?

I'm running Kubuntu Bionic and when I check for

I don't see any drivers for the bcm57XX series either the 4.15.0-33-generic, 4.15.0-34-generic or 4.15.0-36-generic kernels.

What driver are you using? Use lsmod to find out.
See what its settings capabilities are by using
modinfo <nameofdriver>
The "Parms" will list what you can change. If you see any related to the speed of the device you can set it.

Which one is the driver for the network card??

Thank You

Which one is the driver for the network card??

$ modinfo tg3
The bad news is that there is only one parm for that driver, and it has nothing to do with speed.

Possibly good news is that you can install missing formware for the tg3 module.
https://blog.sleeplessbeastie.eu/201...or-tg3-module/

But, I don't know where you'd get the firmware-linux-nonfree package from. It was in trusty, but for its specific kernel.

Maybe someone else can chime in here and help.

[larbac]

Why did they removed it?
It was working fine on older versions...

sudo apt-get install firmware-linux-nonfree was not possible since it couldn't find the package.

[GreyGeek]

It is not in Bionic's repository.
I don't know where one could find it except by downloading and looking into an old Xenial or Trusty ISO file, extracting them, and then hoping that they work against the current kernels.

You might want to run LiveUSB's or LiveCD's of Mint, or OpenSUSE, PCLinuxOS, or other top 100 distros and see if they support your chip.

[larbac]

I don't know how to do it ehehehhe
Is there any place where I can submit this problem, to see if they can add it again?

[wonder]

I have the same issue or problem.
My package connection was 50/5 and not problem, but yesterday, my ISP was update my package to 100/100, in the tests I view that, not have more than 80 of download.
My smartphone, with wifi, have 120 of down and 100 of up.
After some tests, I view my connection are set to 100 Mbps.
I started the computer with live usb of kubuntu and the tests of velocity was good (120 down 100 up).
Restart computer and settings in icon of connection, and I view that, are set to 100 mbps.
I check (activate) allow to negotiate automatically, and after this, my connection is set to 1000 Mbps (with ifconfig view this set) and the tests of internet now, are good.
Sure that you are review this, but I comment if not...

It worked. Now it says 1Gbit/s.
Thanks

I'm glad!
