Hi!

I have trouble getting 1000mbit out of my ethernet card.

I tried direct connection between two PCs with different cables, and
no luck.

Today I tried connection to 1000mbit switch, and no luck, either. (Two
cables, one was cat6, both short).

My computer sees 1000mbit being advertised by the other side, but does
not advertise 1000mbit, "Link Speed was downgraded by SmartSpeed".

4.8.0-rc4+ kernel.

Does it work for other people? Card is:
