Hello, I've run out of ideas so here it goes: I'm having major speed issues with the LNE100TX linksys cards. In Windows [same pc's same cards] I can play mp3's from one pc on another pc. Transfering a 30MB file takes about 20 seconds. Win95 is running netbios/netbuie/ tcp/ip / spx/ipx Now when I boot one of them into freebsd, using the dc0 driver the card runs at 100baseTX. Transfering same file from FreeBSD to windows takes anywhere from 60 - 200 seconds [not other network traffic] and I get lots of collision. I boot both pc's into FreeBSD [4.3-Stable], same speed issues. Trying to play mp3's from one box on another, they still skip as the transfer rate cannot keep up. I also get more collision then I should on the linksys hub [all this came in the FENSK05 home networking kit from linksys] Transferring a 30MB file from FreeBSD to FreeBSD still takes longer than it should [usually over 2 minutes, I've hit 359seconds some times.] Does anyone know if there are issues with these cards and freebsd? Is anyone running these with good performance, or does everyone's MP3's skip while playing them remotely over Samba or NFS? Before I go buy new cards, I would like to make sure that these cards really do suck and I should use 3com/Intel. Is there any other settings I can check? What other issues can there be? Transfer rates are usually less than 100 Kbytes/sec. I am basing that they run slow because it takes long to ftp transfer files between pc's and because mp3's skip while playing them remotely [as in windows none of this happens] pcs are -- Dual booting win95 and FreeBSD -- 233mmx with 48 / 32 MB of RAM. --Fortune-- Real Users find the one combination of bizarre input values that shuts down the system for days. --- www.nul.cjb.net --- The Power to Crash! --- www.FreeBSD.org --- The Power to Serve!
