Hey there, I assume you have two net interfaces on the gentoo box? Do you get full speed on both interfaces from the gentoo box itself? Looking at your config, I would suggest first trying kernel option pci=noacpi. There seems to be a few problems with acpi still. With my modem, if I don't use pci=noacpi I also get about 1/2 the full speed. If that doesn't work, try getting rid of apic as well - you have a single processor, right? If that doesn't fix, I can't help any further. Good luck! Jason -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
