The card speed limited to 100 Mb/s

Hi!

I follow the instruction from the README.Debian file in
r8168-dkms_8.048.03-1_all.deb.

This is a HP laptop connected to a 150 Mb/s. The HP service claims the
card should be working with the speed up to 300 Mb/s. Both tests and
Setting show the speed of 100 Mb/s only. For videoconferences the
difference can be quite essential.

Best regards

Janusz

I apologize for a false alarm - the cable had to be replaced.

It wouldn't have been a question for the kernel community anyway
because it's about a out-of-tree vendor driver.
And the 150MB/s - 300MB/s obviously refer to WiFi.

Jus for information, it was not Wi-Fi.

But perhaps the service staff I contacted had it in mind...

Apologize once gain for bothering you.
