Dos not bring the interface up. The reason I am asking the question is because I have an old 3Com 509B ISA card. This card is 10baseT. Recently I got a new Intel card. I recompiled my kernel with those options: device miibus # MII bus support device fxp # Intel EtherExpress PRO/100B (82557, 82558) After reboot the system brings the interface up, but it is slow. When I ping the nearest (my ISP) gateway I get 0% packet loss, but something behind brings me 50%-60% packet loss. The card by default is 100baseT so I thought that could be the problem and decided to change it to 10baseT. I haven't noticed any such problem with my old 3Com card. Any Ideas? Do they do anything on the gateway that slows my connection?
