both of my G75vw's list having the Atheros AR8151 PCI-e gigabit controller.
problem is it list top speed choice as 100Mbps duplex. home net is gigabit.
for testing, i tried a few brand new Cat5 & Cat6 cables connecting from notebook to netgear gigabit switch, still 100Mbps.
gotta ask, how does one get these nic to do 1000Mbps ?
