Autodetect > in the 8139s seems to be unreliable at times. This is true for most 10/100 Base-T implementations I've seen. None of them have been able to reliably auto-detect. Any time I hear someone complain of network throughput problems, this is one of the first things I have them check. However, this would not seem to be the case in this instance, unless 4.7 and 5.x are not handling auto-detect in the same way. -- Brad Knowles, "They that can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither liberty nor safety." -Benjamin Franklin, Historical Review of Pennsylvania.
