Hello!
I am having problems with several cards in Linux 2.6:
- 3com 3c905
- rtl8139
The rates in a 100Mbit/s network I get are nearly exaclty
1MB/s.
Currently I am sitting on the notebook with the rtl8139 card,
so if someone has hints to debug this I can respond very fast.
Btw, yes, other hosts have better rates. Normally we have 8MB/s
when scp-ing:
Host me ---> fileserver: 1MB/s
Host me ---> host test: 1MB/s
Host other ---> fileserver: 8MB/s
Host test ---> fileserver: 5-7MB/s
Greetings,
Nico

Well, now I have some more information, which make me wonder:
I am currently trying to debug the rtl8139 card:
00:05.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
00:05.0 Class 0200: 10ec:8139 (rev 10)
Subsystem: 10ec:8139
Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV- VGASnoop- ParErr- Step
ping- SERR+ FastB2B-
Status: Cap+ 66Mhz- UDF- FastB2B+ ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- <TAbort
- <MAbort- >SERR- <PERR-
Latency: 64 (8000ns min, 16000ns max)
Interrupt: pin A routed to IRQ 5
Region 0: I/O ports at d600 [size=256]
Region 1: Memory at effaee00 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=256]
Capabilities: [50] Power Management version 2

ot+,D3cold+)
Status: D0 PME-Enable- DSel=0 DScale=0 PME-
What makes me wondering is the attached output of mii-diag and
8139-diag, can somebody tell me why the values are non standard and
why the flow control is disabled?
Greetings,
Nico
