Ok gang, this one absolutely boggles me. My system:
AMD64 w/1.5G RAM, 200G HD, Audigy2, Realtek NIC, nVidia 6800GS. So, here's my NIC as it appears in lspci (both with the Live CD, and my current install): 02:03.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) And the driver: 8139too 28992 0 Now then... as of 2 days ago, I've been noticing that my ethernet has been acting really whacky, with random ping times and flaky web surfing. Example ping: jmg ~ # ping yahoo.com -c 10 PING yahoo.com (66.94.234.13) 56(84) bytes of data. 64 bytes from w2.rc.vip.scd.yahoo.com (66.94.234.13): icmp_seq=1 ttl=47 time=627 ms 64 bytes from w2.rc.vip.scd.yahoo.com (66.94.234.13): icmp_seq=2 ttl=48 time=696 ms 64 bytes from w2.rc.vip.scd.yahoo.com (66.94.234.13): icmp_seq=3 ttl=47 time=85.5 ms 64 bytes from w2.rc.vip.scd.yahoo.com (66.94.234.13): icmp_seq=4 ttl=48 time=728 ms 64 bytes from w2.rc.vip.scd.yahoo.com (66.94.234.13): icmp_seq=5 ttl=48 time=96.4 ms 64 bytes from w2.rc.vip.scd.yahoo.com (66.94.234.13): icmp_seq=6 ttl=47 time=764 ms 64 bytes from w2.rc.vip.scd.yahoo.com (66.94.234.13): icmp_seq=7 ttl=47 time=132 ms 64 bytes from w2.rc.vip.scd.yahoo.com (66.94.234.13): icmp_seq=8 ttl=48 time=800 ms 64 bytes from w2.rc.vip.scd.yahoo.com (66.94.234.13): icmp_seq=9 ttl=48 time=164 ms 64 bytes from w2.rc.vip.scd.yahoo.com (66.94.234.13): icmp_seq=10 ttl=48 time=833 ms --- yahoo.com ping statistics --- 10 packets transmitted, 10 received, 0% packet loss, time 9027ms rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 85.529/492.918/833.156/309.889 ms Look at those times. Strange eh? Even more strange, I get a nice even 30-40ms ping when booting with the AMD64 Gentoo CD, so I've ruled out that my NIC card could be broken. I've also checked my iptables to make sure nothing's being blocked/dropped, and that looks fine. Here's ifconfig: jmg ~ # ifconfig eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:13:D4:63:AB:45 inet addr:192.168.100.69 Bcast:192.168.100.255 Mask:255.255.255.0 inet6 addr: fe80::213:d4ff:fe63:ab45/64 Scope:Link UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1 RX packets:1717 errors:2 dropped:4 overruns:1 frame:0 TX packets:1389 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000 RX bytes:1221100 (1.1 Mb) TX bytes:224935 (219.6 Kb) Interrupt:10 Base address:0x2000 lo Link encap:Local Loopback inet addr:127.0.0.1 Mask:255.0.0.0 inet6 addr: ::1/128 Scope:Host UP LOOPBACK RUNNING MTU:16436 Metric:1 RX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0 TX packets:0 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:0 RX bytes:0 (0.0 b) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b) Look at eth0. Errors? Drops? Overruns? Why? What could be wrong with this NIC all of the sudden? Again, I have 0 problems when booting the same exact setup with the Live CD. After doing some simple troubleshooting, I'll admit, I'm stumped. Any idea why my NIC works great with the Live CD and not with my currently running system? -- [email protected] mailing list
