848397	2010-01-13 10:13:00	When trying to get my new PCI-E NIC into Gigabit mode, my system starts having issues. this happens on XP\Vista\Ubuntu The dmesg output from Ubuntu probably provides the best information, but I don't really know what it's saying. Can anyone help me understand it?

848398	2010-01-13 10:47:00	If it ain't working anywhere, do you not think that the card itself might be faulty? It's known to happen. Go back to supplier and ask for them to test and provide proof it is working at 1Gb.	HAL9000 (12736)
848399	2010-01-13 11:20:00	Maybe it is faulty, I don't know. The Chip is a VT6130 and is meant to be able to do 1Gb, according to VIA Just wondering if the errors listed could shed some light onto what was actually wrong...	Agent_24 (57)
848400	2010-01-13 17:34:00	Those errors are more related to your soundcard? Do you not get any LAN at all in Ubuntu?	Chilling_Silence (9)
848401	2010-01-13 20:56:00	I'm with Chill on this - according to that output, your network card is working fine and is autonegotiating a full duplex gigabit connection. The errors you're seeing are related to pulseaudio. What makes you think your network card isn't working properly?	Erayd (23)
848402	2010-01-13 21:50:00	What makes you think your network card isn't working properly? Immediately after the VIA card going into 1.0Gb mode, the computer starts having issues, programs won't load straight away, eg if you click on something it might not do anything for half a minute. Then, when I tell Ubuntu to shut down or restart, the whole system just locks up. These problems do not happen any other time. Basically the same problems happen in Windows too, and in windows the card always says "Cable unplugged" when it tries to go into 1.0Gb mode. I also tried forcing 1.0Gb in the driver properties in Vista, but still it said unplugged and had issues. The 1.0Gb LED lights up though, so it seems the hardware knows what's actually going on... Do you not get any LAN at all in Ubuntu? It works fine in 100Mbit mode, though. Maybe I should try a different sound card... but what about "ata7: lost interrupt (Status 0x58) " Isn't this related to the hard drives or such?	Agent_24 (57)
