The problem is I am getting a terrible performance with a 3com nic...
Here are the facts:
# lspci -v
00:0c.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX [Fast Etherlink] (rev 78 ) Subsystem: 3Com Corporation 3C905C-TX Fast Etherlink for PC Management N IC Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 32, IRQ 11 I/O ports at c000 Memory at d7800000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) Capabilities: <available only to root>
# lsmod
3c90x 20240 1 (autoclean)
I have the same card, but with REV74 firmware. I chose the 3c59X driver and it is working very good. JLK
And finally the misterious message when I am booting:
Setting up network device eth0 insmod: Warning: /lib/modules/2.2.18/net/3c90x.o parameter switchdelay has max < min! done
And when I ping my own NIC I get errors increased on my NIC checking with ifconfig on another tty...
Any suggestions.. this machines is unusable on a network!
Thanks,
