I have a Debian 12 desktop connecting through a 100baseT 4 wire ethernet cable.
On startup I get the message "The network connection has been disconnected" which gets connected and disconnected again for a couple of times before it locks at 100Mbps. The connection is stable afterwards, but I have to wait a minute every time I boot up, for the ethernet connection to establish.
I suppose it regards 100Mbps as strange and tries to renegotiate the connection. So I tried to force the connection in 100Mbps by altering /etc/network/if-pre-up.d/ethtool to no avail. A windows pc with the same cable works fine.
Is there a way I can overcome this?
For the record, the reason I use 100Mbps is that the room I am in has a single network plug and I split it in two 100baseT since there are two pcs that share it. I prefer not to add an additional switch since the overall internet speed is below 100Mbps.
