Now I finally know where is the problem. My netwotk card "VIA Technologies, Inc. VT86C100A [Rhine] (rev 06)" doesn't work correctly. I recompiled kernel with this options:
Code:
<M>     VIA Rhine support
[*]       Use MMIO instead of PIO (EXPERIMENTAL)


I also tried without "[*] Use MMIO instead of PIO (EXPERIMENTAL)"...Funny thing is that card works but I get:
Code:
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 782d, resetting...
eth0: Setting full-duplex based on MII #8 link partner capability of 41e1.


And card performance is soooo....poor...Only 200kb/s and it's 10/100 card, that's why my samba is sooo slow :)

Any ideas? plz I am going mad....and I mean mad :cry: Thnx in advance

BTW here is lsmod:
Code:
Module                  Size  Used by    Not tainted
via-rhine              13680   1
8139too                14952   1
mii                     2560   0  [via-rhine 8139too]
i2c-piix4               4204   0  (unused)
dmi_scan                1572   0  [i2c-piix4]
ipt_state                536  17  (autoclean)
ipt_LOG                 3352   1  (autoclean)
iptable_filter          1708   1  (autoclean)

Okay, so now we have it down to a driver problem. WOOHOO!!

Uh, what motherboard do you have?? There might have been a change in the VIA driver between 2.4.19 and 2.4.20.

Have you checked to see if it is a VIA NIC, or maybe someone else made the chip?? I've never worked with onboard NIC cards, so I could be wrong.

And I don't know, but what is the mii module??? That seems to be thoroughly pissed off.

This is unacceptable. There is a wisespread issue with with the VIA Rhine drivers in the kernel. I have 3 VIA Rhine cards myself, they are often included as the onboard cards for laptops and desktops. It's not practical to ignore that chipset and move on to another one... it's everywhere.

I get 5MB transfer speeds to a machine with a rhine card, and about 5000 B/s (5K) a second from it... this is with samba and ssh (scp).

I haven't found a solution yet.

Well, the first thing I would do is search bugs.gentoo.org and if nothing matches your problem, file a new bug report. The only way things are going to get fixed is if people report problems so that developers and others know about them.
