netlink error: link settings update failed netlink error: Invalid argument #56
Description
Hi There,
I tried the command below, as per the README. But it does not work for me.
# ethtool -s enp3s0f2 speed 1000 autoneg off
netlink error: link settings update failed
netlink error: Invalid argument
I am using the following OS:
# cat /etc/os-release
NAME="Linux Mint"
VERSION="21.3 (Virginia)"
ID=linuxmint
ID_LIKE="ubuntu debian"

Any ideas?
Incidentally, the NIC is unable to negotiate 1000Mbps - it negotiates 100Mbps. I am on a GB router. Any ideas?
My ethtool shows the following:
# ethtool enp3s0f2
