What happens if you just don't muck with the NIC and let it
auto-negotiate
on it's own?
It goes to half-duplex and runs 9 to 9.5 megabytes/second as stated
above.
That's why I think 1/2 duplex is __really__ full-duplex.
half-duplex will run near line speed in one direction. Try sending in
both directions at the same time and you'll get closer to 40% of the
link utilization... Also, if you see any collisions you are in half-duplex
mode.
You could try connecting the NICs back-to-back with a cross-over
cable to take your switch out of the loop?
