Hi all. I just purchased an eepro100, and it's not performing as well as
I expected. If I use 'ping -f remotehost' to a host on the same subnet,
the hub collision light turns on solid, and percentage of packets lost is
about 2% for 60k packets. Collisions are 25k from that it appears.
I'm using an Acer 16 port hub, which I'm sure isn't the highest quality,
but using 'ping -f' between two other hosts shows little or no collisions.
I've tried replacing the cables, etc, to no avail. I've downloaded the
5/3/99 driver:
eth0: Intel PCI EtherExpress Pro100 at 0xef00, 00:90:27:8B:x:y, IRQ 10.
Receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling work-around.
Board assembly 721383-006, Physical connectors present: RJ45
Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1.
General self-test: passed.
Serial sub-system self-test: passed.
Internal registers self-test: passed.
ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x04f4518b).
eepro100.c:v1.08 5/3/99 Donald Becker
Does this receiver bug significantly reduce thruput? I just got the card,
should I return it?
Thanks,
Dave
