Now that I’m back from University for Christmas I don’t need to leave my Linux workstation on permanently. I’d like to be able to suspend and resume it, except I’m having one problem. On resume, the network card does not switch to gigabit, instead staying at 100mbit. I have Googled around but have been unable to find a solution. For now, if I need gigabit speeds the solution seems to be to remove the r8169 module and insert it again:
sudo rmmod r8169 sudo modprobe r8169
Bear in mind doing this will obviously cut out your network connection, so don’t do it over SSH!
Does anyone know of a proper solution? Or a more elegant hack.
