I need help to get running my ethernet to 1000Mb/s. My system is Ubuntu 22.04 Here my spec:

lspci -nnk | grep 0200 -A3
21:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Intel Corporation I211 Gigabit Network Connection [8086:1539] (rev 03)
    DeviceName: Broadcom 5762
    Subsystem: Micro-Star International Co., Ltd. [MSI] I211 Gigabit Network Connection [1462:7a32]
    Kernel driver in use: igb

I don't know how to configure it. Or do I miss any driver?

Edit:

❯ ethtool eno1
Settings for eno1:

What is this SmartSpeed?

    Before looking at the computer, have you confirmed that the *cable* can support gigabit? It should be CAT5e, CAT6, CAT7, or CAT8. If it is CAT5 *without* the "e", then you will not get gigabit speeds. Be sure that the entire network stack that the computer is connected to also supports gigabit. If even one wire or network switch maxes out at 100mbit, then the connection may be downgraded. – matigo Apr 25 '23 at 11:01

    My 5e would not give me the gig speeds. It works great once I replaced all cable with 6 and any switches with full gig support. – David Apr 25 '23 at 11:03
  • Yes, the cable is good. I connected my notebook with the same cable and everything works as expected. The problem is driver/software... – Code4Fun Apr 25 '23 at 11:39
  • Get the name of your ethernet adapter using `ip a` (for example, _`enp3s0f1`_), then run (for example) `ethtool` _`enp3s0f1`_, and paste the output into your original question by [edit]ing it. – FedKad Apr 25 '23 at 11:56
  • Did you try to follow the answers at https://askubuntu.com/questions/94770/internet-slow-on-ubuntu-but-not-windows-using-a-rtl8111 ? Did you try to change the speed manually? – FedKad Apr 25 '23 at 18:58
  • I tried to boot from stick, and the problem persist. Maybe the onboard LAN is defect? And changing the speed manually was not successful. I could not connect. My chipset is not Realtek. – Code4Fun Apr 25 '23 at 19:08
