I have recently built a new Kubuntu desktop machine using the MSI mainboard given in the subject of this post. On the mainboard is a LAN port that comes from Realtek. Running the command "ifconfig" I get the following output.
Running the command "sudo ethtool --show-eee enp12s0" I get the following output:
The output from "lspci" includes the line:
All of the many different speed test tools for testing speed to the internet show that I don't manage to get anything more than 100Mb
The network cable is a CAT7, it is connected to a Netgear GS108E switch and both of the green lights say I ought to be seeing 10000Mb
Any ideas on what I need to do to be able to get the network interface to go faster?
