 |
|
Hi,
The following problem really puzzles me. As the subject says, my network on the LAN is extremely slow. With extremely slow I mean, that I can't seem to get more than 20kB/s out of the net. Yep that's right. An I tell you. It's annoying on a 1 Mbit DSL connection.
Sometimes I browse the net with rates below 10kB/s 
In windows all runs perfect 
I even went off to buy a new network card out of frustration. That didn't work. And since then I switched to wlan, so I bought yet another network card. Still same problem. As I needed different drivers for each of these network cards
, I can safely rule out problems with the driver. Here's some info:
cat /proc/pci
| Code: | PCI devices found:
[...]
Bus 0, device 13, function 0:
Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX/TX-M [Tornado] (rev 120).
IRQ 16.
Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=10.Max Lat=10.
I/O at 0xa000 [0xa07f].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xcb800000 [0xcb80007f].

right now I'm using the Atheros card (DLink AirPlus XTreme G) with the madwifi driver:
| Code: |
* net-wireless/madwifi-driver
Latest version available: 0.1_pre20041019
Latest version installed: 0.1_pre20041019

ifconfig:

manticore progol # ifconfig

I can't think of any other output to put here. Anyone any ideas about that problem?
Oh, I'm running on gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.8-r3

It may not be related, but I had the same problem with NFS mounts in the past. It was solved by installing portmap and setting to run out of the init.d. Do you have portmap running?

I forgot to say, that some webpages stall completely at a certain point.
For example, using curl, the output of www.bugzilla.org hangs here:
| Code: | [...]
<a name="see"></a><h2>Bugzilla in Action</h2>
<ul>
EOF (stalled)
|
http://www.elec.qmul.ac.uk/dmrn/groups.html doesn't even load up at all
it's really puzzling me. Strangly enough, every other webpage I visited so far seems working perfectly.
Could it be a problem with my motherboard? kernel? ideas please.... I'm desparate |

Seems solved now. I updated to the new nitro sources v2.6.9-nitro2 "Now with wings" and I get all the beauty of 108Mbit network 
I would like to know what caused the problem though...??? If anyone has some insight to share? |
