They're all autonegotiated (1) 7.3-RELEASE-p2 has 1000baseTX <full-duplex> (2) 9.0-PRERELEASE has 1000baseT <full-duplex,master> (3) 7.4-RELEASE-p4 has 1000baseTX <full-duplex> So I have switched the cables of (1) and (2) but ifconfig output stays the same, though I would suspect that (1) would become 1000baseT and (2) would become 1000baseTX I have rebooted (2) just to make sure, but still no change in de output of ifconfig Putting (2) on another port of the switch doesn't change ifconfig output either But it's solved! scp now completes with: 100% 338MB 30.7MB/s 00:11 Hmm still it should be able to go up to 120MB/s, but this could a limitation somewhere else Sorry for the noise Disclaimer: http://www.ose.nl/email
