Replacing it with a different nic might do the trick.
I'll try that anyway.
John already suggeted a Gb-nic, but it's not the speed that might do the trick for you, modern nics (capable of realy doing Gb) often have longer hareware fifo's onboard, and generate less IRQ's for the same amount of data, compared with 3com's. Might consider a single Intel board with quad E1000 if irq's or the bus is a problem.
I've also got some fairly ancient Sun HMEs with 4x100Mbit, but they're 64bit PCI cards. I still might experiment. Does anyone have any real suggestion as to why a 100Mbit ethernet card cannot handle 50Mbit? It doesn't matter much, but it doesn't seem to make much sense? -- Per Jessen, Zürich (5.1°C) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
