Somebody has a solution ?

Thanks a lot

From IBM announcement letter:

5700 /5701 Limitations

Half Duplex (HDX) mode is not supported at the 1000 Mbps speed on either
adapter

From "Kernel Extensions and Device Support Programming Concepts"

Media Speed
The media speed attribute indicates the speed at which the adapter will attempt
to operate. The available speeds are 10 Mbps half-duplex, 10 Mbps full-duplex,
100 Mbps half-duplex, 100 Mbps full-duplex and auto-negotiation, with a default
of auto-negotiation. Select auto-negotiate when the adapter should use
auto-negotiation across the network to determine the speed. When the network
will not support auto-negotiation, select the specific speed.
Note
1000 MBps half and full duplex are not valid values. As per the IEEE 802.3z
specification, gigabit speeds of any duplexity must be auto-negotiated for
copper (TX) based adapters. Please select auto-negotiation if these speeds are
desired.

I hope that's help you

PS: demande a ton voisin avant, la procha?ne fois

Please enable jumbo frames i.e mtu to 9000 and chdev cmd with rmmtu to 9000.

Check the difference.Set no -o rfc 1323=1
