I have never been able to get one laptop I have to download at past 40kb/s from any of my FreeBSD machines when the laptop card links at 100Mb/s. The NIC on the FreeBSD server can be SMC or Intel, and in between a hub or a switch. The laptop communicated just fine at 10 or 100Mb/s speeds with any windows machine I have. The laptop runs 98se and the FreeeBSD servers have had 4.0 to the latelst 4.3 stable. The laptop NICs I've tried are the Intel labeled 10/100 Xircom card with dongle and I think a 3cx575? 10/100 X-Jack card. Again, the laptop only has problems with FreeBSD. > I've been fighting with a 3com 3c905 10/100 card for the last month or so, a > friend helped me narrow down the problem, but it's still not working even > remotely as well as it should be. > > Hardware: > From dmesg: > xl0: <3Com 3c905-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xd400-0xd43f irq 10 at device > 12.0 on pci0 > xl0: Ethernet address: 00:60:08:a5:99:b2 > miibus0: on xl0 > nsphy0: on miibus0 > nsphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto > > The Switch: > NetGear FS105 10/100. > > The problem: > when the card and switch autonegotiate a link, they agree on 100Mb Full > Duplex.
