Feature request: configure network interface speed

[eth]

I would like to lock 1GBPS on my network cards that sometimes fall back to 100mbps. For now I'm using a custom-made bash script, but it would be amazing if network interface speeds could be assigned through the web interface.

Hi,
I guess you should ask why your NIC is doing so.
This is not the expected behavior.

Well, I have what I have. These are not new servers that I'm working with.

I understand this, but it makes for us (Proxmox) no sense to implement something that is a workaround for no working HW.
The great thing about PVE is you have a full-featured Debian and free to do what you like.
You can set the speed with "ethtool".

if you use ifupdown2 && have ethtool package installed, you can add "link-speed 100" option in your interface in /etc/network/interfaces
