Set advertised speed to GB: ethtool -s eth0 advertise 0x20 2. Bring interface down ip link set eth0 down 3. Issue any command that leads to a reset: ethtool -t eth0 4. Bring link back up: ip link set eth0 up Following patch makes sure that the driver flaps the Tx laser every time ixgbe_start_hw() is called, and not only when the speed is set.
