I allways use vanilla kernels and I'm having had this problem from 2.4.22 to 2.4.24 and from 2.6.2 to 2.6.6. The symptom is easy to explain. I connect the PC to a 100MBit switch and no matter which method of transfer (ftp, scp, samba, nfs) I use, I get a maximum transfer rate of less than 400kB/s. By accident I found a dirty workaround that might be a hint for some tech savvy hackers: if I force the NIC to use halfduplex (allthough it's connected to a switch) it works like expected (7-8 MB/s). The only help I can be is that I can test new kernel drivers and send you feedback. Any help highly appreciated, Thomas Latzelsberger FYI: about the Linux I use: gentoo with vanilla kernel. no additional kernel patches. hardware: Acer Aspire 1705SMi, I run the P4 without HT (thus, no SMP related issue) lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 650 Host (rev 80) 00:01.0 PCI bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS 530 Virtual PCI-to-PCI bridge (AGP) 00:02.0 ISA bridge: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS962 [MuTIOL Media IO] (rev 14) 00:02.1 SMBus: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS]: Unknown device 0016 00:02.3 FireWire (IEEE 1394): Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] FireWire Controller 00:02.5 IDE interface: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] 5513 [IDE] 00:02.6 Modem: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Intel 537 [56k Winmodem] (rev a0) 00:02.7 Multimedia audio controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] Sound Controller (rev a0) 00:03.0 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) 00:03.1 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) 00:03.2 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 1.0 Controller (rev 0f) 00:03.3 USB Controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] USB 2.0 Controller 00:04.0 Ethernet controller: Silicon Integrated Systems [SiS] SiS900 10/100 Ethernet (rev 91) 00:0a.0 CardBus bridge: O2 Micro, Inc.
