hi everyone
nice to see some new entries on the new posts list so i figured i could add one more to that. a slightly odd one i might add
the oddity i came across for a while now is the network speed of my octane. it has 2 nics, the default one and a 3com gigabit card with the good old kernel hack. they both work fine with one exception: internet speed. no matter what i do i can't get more than about 1.8mb. that's way too low because my line has enough juice to fully saturate the onboard 100mbit one, which is connected to the router. the gigabit i use for lan only. they're configured as follows:
as mentioned already, they're both fine. with nfs for example i get the speed i expect and the built-in one maxes out with other stuff than the internet as well.
the strange thing is that once, and only that one time, i suddenly had full speed. no idea why and what caused it but after the next reboot it was back to slowmo again. of course i tried the usual things like different cables, different ports on the switch and so on but no dice. i tried different netmasks, turned ipfilter on and off and made sure the test download can actually deliver enough. but no matter what i did it didn't help.
so if anybody has any ideas ... anything would be most welcome.
