I am running kernel 2.2.19brfw on a 486dx2-66 with 16M
RAM, a 3c509 (eth0 - connected to internal network)
and an SMC EtherEZ (smc-ultra.c - eth1 - connected to
an ADSL "modem") on the ISA bus. It works, but it is
unbearably slow. Transfers often stall after a short
period. Even ftp directory listings take 10-15
seconds, and can die completely.
I saw previous posts mentioning max_interrupt_work
variable, so I changed this for my 3c509 from the
default (10) to 128. This improved things a little.
Increasing the value from 128 to 32*1024 did nothing.
This variable does not seem to exist in smc-ultra.c,
or the module it depends on, 8390.c...
On bootup, I allow my cards to be configured with ips
on boot, and then I run the following commands:
brctl addbr br0
brctl addif br0 eth0
brctl addif br0 eth1
ifconfig eth0 0.0.0.0
ifconfig eth1 0.0.0.0
ifconfig br0 216.232.x.x netmask 255.255.248.0
Is there a problem with the configuration, or is a 486
just too gutless to run the bridging code?
