plugged in using a etl certified (whooie) cat-5e to:
Linksys EtherFast 4116
Using ping -f /{some address}/, I've noticed at these configured speeds the following:
10baseT/UTP half-duplex == 11% packet loss 10baseT/UTP full-duplex == 30% packet loss 100baseTX half-duplex == 70-80% packet loss 100baseTX full-duplex == 95-99% packet loss
Some older cards simply won't handle the data rate of a flood ping; if you can do something like:
ping -s 1000 -i 0.001 _address_
...without packet loss, it's probably fine to use for normal purposes. The only other response I can think to give is to try swapping in a high-end card like a fxp.
