FW: Disabling negotiation

[Raymond Overdijk (Netro)]

Before Christmas we updated to the latest driver
It appears the driver is trying to re-negotiate the speed every minute
Whilst copying a large file from one system to another on the LAN today,
eth1 stopped responding
A reboot was required to bring the network card back online

Any ideas?

Regards,
Raymond.
