One is running 4.11 and the other is running 5.3 For some reason which I have been battling with for the past 4 hours, the 4.11 box will not pass more than 10MB/s of traffic. The 5.3 box passes between 30-40 MB/s. Both machines are connected to a Netapp Filer via a Cisco 2970 Gigabit switch. All duplex settings are correct. Just to make sure it was not the switch I connected the machines directly to the filer and got exactly the same results. I saw a post in the archives from September about something similar where moving data from a 5.3 machine to a 4.x machine was taking longer than usual. Has there been a fix for this or is there anyway to patch the 4.11 bge drivers with the properly working ones from 5.3 ? --- Gareth Hopkins Server Operations UUNET South Africa
