I recently upgraded my ethernet cable.
I'm dualbooting, via windows I get 100mbps (the full internet speed). On Ubuntu with the Plasma DE I get 10mbps when it connects.
The ethernet device is also not showing in the system tray network monitor as a network option.
I deleted the Ethernet entry in the network monitor manager and used ifup to reconnect my ethernet to get a connection but still at slow speeds.
However on a couple of occasions it worked at full speed without any issues, I can't recall what I did to get that to happen unfortunately.
I'm not entirely certain where the the problem is, but I'd like to get the same speeds as on windows and have auto connection and it appearing on my system tray as well.
