Could you please try out if the e100 module works better?

Hello Andreas, sad, but after some testing it does only work in one direction useable, the other is slow/unrelyable. Downloaded the source of eepro100-diag from www.scyld.com, it compiled fine and enables me to force speed/duplex settings, as mii-tool doesn't work, so they should be fine now, but it didn't helped..;-( Next try, latest eepro100 module sources: # gcc -DMODULE -D__KERNEL__ -O6 -Wall -I/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build/include -O -o eepro100.o -c eepro100.c eepro100.c:369:2: warning: #warning Undefined architecture. <-- looks like the problem eepro100.c: In function `speedo_rx': eepro100.c:1467: warning: void format, unsigned char arg (arg 4) eepro100.c: In function `set_rx_mode': eepro100.c:1809: warning: void format, descriptor arg (arg 3) # install -m 644 eepro100.o /lib/modules/`uname -r`/net/ # depmod -a depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.4-SMP/net/eepro100.o It's not possible to insert the module (for testing only with 'insmod'). However, running 'netstat -s --tcp' during scp testing with the original e100.o module shows that, TCPSlowStartRetrans: <number>, grows real fast. Thx for any help or hint. Michael Heiming
