If it's in a PCI slot, could you please have a look in dmesg at the point where the e1000 driver module loads and could you check which kind of PCI interface the driver uses? Should look like this: > Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 7.6.15.5-NAPI > Copyright (c) 1999-2008 Intel Corporation. > PCI: Setting latency timer of device 01:00.0 to 64 > e1000: 01:00.0: e1000_probe: (PCI Express:2.5Gb/s:Width x4) 00:10:f3:0e:c5:d4 If it's only operating in PCI 33Mhz, 32 bit mode you'll never get more throughput than 300 - 400 mbit/s Frank ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Stay on top of everything new and different, both inside and around Java (TM) technology - register by April 22, and save $200 on the JavaOne (SM) conference, June 2-5, 2009, San Francisco. 300 plus technical and hands-on sessions.
