Hi,
I've got FreeBSD 2.1 installed on a Pentium 120MHz with 16 MB RAM,
1.2 GB disk (IDE) and an IDE CDROM. It's also got a 3Com 3C509 network
card.
I'm running into a very odd situation where the network is VERY slow
to and from our FreeBSD machine. Telnets to the machine appear to be
running at about 300 baud and ftp's run about the same speed.
We've removed all conflicting device drivers from the kernel and
when we boot with a -c, no conflicts show whatsoever.
One thing that is odd is that an ifconfig for ep0 shows the
following:
ep0: flags=8e3<UP,BROADCAST,NOTRAILERS,RUNNING,SIMPLEX> mtu 1500
inet 204.250.54.151 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 204.250.54.255
ether 00:a0:24:3e:03:e0
We don't understand the "SIMPLEX" value that is showing up nor do we
know how to change it.
Can you give some help?
Thanks much,
Jim Owen
