The card is 10/100 but Fedora is defaulting to e1000e as the e100 driver isn't included with Fedora 15.
I downloaded the e100 driver from http://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=2896&ProdId=998&lang=eng which is

Known to build properly on 2.4.19 & 2.6.x kernels.
but receive the error
Quote:
Makefile:170: *** *** Aborting the build. *** This driver is not supported on kernel versions older than 2.4.0. Stop.
.
I'm using 2.6.40.6-0.fc15.x86_64.
Removing the section of code that produces this error just leads to another bunch of errors so as I said I don't have much confidence in the driver that eventually installed.
Previously I'd tried rpmbuild -tb against the tar.gz. I've tried again with rpmbuild -ts to create a source then ran rpmbuild --rebuild against the src.rpm. End result is either

Makefile:170: *** *** Aborting the build. *** This driver is not supported on kernel versions older than 2.4.0. Stop.
make: Leaving directory `/root/rpmbuild/BUILD/e100-3.5.17/src'
error: Bad exit status from /var/tmp/rpm-tmp.1HV9jv (%build)
or if I modfiy the Makefile to force it to carry on I get

Makefile:190: *** Warning: kernel source configuration (UP)
Makefile:191: *** does not match running kernel (SMP)
Makefile:193: *** Continuing with build,

Can't figure out what the problem is as
seems to be in order.
Sorry, afraid I've wasted your time with the driver install as it is in fact already installed as shown by modinfo e100. modprobe -r e1000e followed by modprobe e100 cuts off my network entirely and following a reboot e1000e is back as the driver in use.

Thanks Mark54g, I think this has something to do with the stage at which the Ethtool config is applied as I had the same problem using Ubuntu 10.10 on this machine but configuring the driver directly on my Windows installation seems to work fine.
NIC's tend to be dirt cheap these days so I think I'll take the easy way out and just pick up a new one thus getting rid of the incompatibility.
