I run the same card in two systems on a Cisco catalyst 5500 switch. Either will get 8.5-9 MB/sec download. One will get 8.5Mb/sec upload, the other only about 1.1MB.sec upload. (In all cases using a Solaris remote host and transferring a 20Mb file of '\0's from /tmp to /dev/null in binary mode. Links are 100FD autonegotiated. Both PCs are HP Vectra VLs but I can't easily verify how identical the hardware actually is.) Both are running 4-Stable, the fast one from 4.3BETA, the slow one from last week (but I suspect it is more a case of hardware differences as the slow machine is older and has always been slow). (Non-verbose) dmesg for the slow machine: xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xfc00-0xfc7f mem 0xfedff800-0xfedff87f irq 9 at device 14.0 on pci0 xl0: Ethernet address: 00:10:5a:a1:7c:7a miibus0: <MII bus> on xl0 xlphy0: <3Com internal media interface> on miibus0 xlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto and the fast one: xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xfc00-0xfc7f mem 0xfedffc00-0xfedffc7f irq 10 at device 13.0 on pci0 xl0: Ethernet address: 00:10:5a:a1:7c:78 miibus0: <MII bus> on xl0 xlphy0: <3Com internal media interface> on miibus0 xlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto I am willing to help out anyone with ideas about this.
