have you ever tried this with previous linux versions ? I haven't ran Linux on this machine, but this type of card does run with earlier versions of RedHat Linux. I may have the same problem. I've spent last week trying to find out the reason for very poor network performance and as the last resort I grabbed today 3c90x-102.tar.gz from 3com and compiled. Well, it worked for me like a breeze. I don't have heavy packet loses on ping (unless I start pinginig with -f options and large packet sizes) but I do have very bad nfs and ftp performance. I use RH 7.3 with the latest i686 kernel (kernel-2.4.18-17.7.x). 3C905CX-TX-M is working OK, too. Use 3Com's DOS-based tool to check media and duplex EEPROM settings of the card. They should both be set to "Auto" or "NWAY". Different cards even of the same type may behave differently because of these default settings. Thanks for the bug report. However, Red Hat no longer maintains this version of the product. Please upgrade to the latest version and open a new bug if the problem persists. The Fedora Legacy project (http://fedoralegacy.org/) maintains some older releases, and if you believe this bug is interesting to them, please report the problem in the bug tracker at: http://bugzilla.fedora.us/ |
