I can select the desired settings and also enabling auto-negotiation
works, but for some reason it was set to 100/half without me doing
anything.
I'm not sure I ever touched those settings on that system before
(and I definitely did not set it to something this slow on purpose).
I
think it was a new install of F26 with home directory carried over from
earlier Fedora releases and then updated to F27.
During normal operation my internet connection would likely not even be
slowed down by 100/half. So I would not notice it immediately. But once
in a while I connect my notebook to the network and do file transfer
with sftp. I think the last time I did that a few weeks ago it was
faster than 100Mbit, but I can not say that for sure. The slowness I
have attributed to the slow cpu and magnetic drive on the notebook could
have been wrong network settings after all.
I think you missed the question. What the GUI shows and what reality is are
two different things. I've had the GUI show 100/half - yet the switch port
indicates 1000/full.
