Default DA100 Gigabit LAN

Hi,

I bought a Dell DA100 to have a Gigabit LAN port on my Inspiron Notebook. This works fine for Windows however in Linux (which is my preferred OS) it connects only with 100MBit/s.
Is there a way to tell DA100 to switch LAN to 1000MBit/s or does the linux driver not support it?

thanks,
Stefan

The device should give you 1 Gbit speed as it does under Windows. The Ethernet function is driven by kernel's built-in CDC-NCM driver.

What are the details of your setup? Does the device enumerate on USB3 in Linux?

Cheers,
Michal

Hi Michal,

how can I find out?
lsusb gives me:
Code:
$ lsusb

...
from ifconfig I get:
Code:
$ ifconfig

In order to find out if it's running with USB 2.0 or 3.0 speed, the easiest way is to use the command
Code:
lsusb -t
which, apart from visualising the device tree for USB devices, shows the speed - either 12M, 480M or 5000M - for USB 1, 2, and 3 respectively.

Thanks,
Michal
