Hello Debian laptop experts! I have a problem with the network speed of my little home network and hope you can help me.
When copying data between my laptop (Acer TM 520) and my desktop computer lots of collisions occur and the speed is very low (about 100 kB/sec.) Both computers are running woody with vanilla-kernel 2.4.21. My desktop computer has a 10Mbit ethernet adapter using the ne2kpci driver, my laptop uses a D-Link DFE 650 pcmcia card (pcnet_cs driver). Both are connected via a ethernet hub (no other computers in the network) Copying via NFS is very slow independent from the usage of the kernel internal pcmcia drivers (module yenta_socket) or the pcmcia_cs drivers (module i82365). But copying via ftp is much faster... What I do not understand is that the described behaviour does not occur when I run a 2.4.18-kernel on the laptop (identical configuration like the 2.4.21) but does occur with 2.4.20. Any ideas?
