| Hi :-) Machine: IBM ThinkPad 570 (laptop), 366MHz, 128MB RAM. 6GB HDD. And a NetGear FA411 Fast Ethernet 10/100 PCMCIA NIC. Enough acronyms ;-) The card runs and works, but only at 10Mb/s. The lights on both the card and the switch indicate a 100Mb/s link, but I'm only getting about 7Mb/s (yes, that _is_ megabits :-). I've googled a bit, and it seems that this is useful info: bash-2.05b$ /sbin/ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:09:5B:1D inet addr:192.168.1.1 Bcast:192.168.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0 UP BROADCAST NOTRAILERS RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:183241 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:175557 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:242517037 (231.2 Mb) TX bytes:73402796 (70.0 Mb) Interrupt:3 Base address:0x300 lo <snipped> -- Thanks :-) Matt -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |
