You didn't mention how you determined this -- are you relying on the command output to tell you, or actual throughput measurements? > > Has anybody else encountered something like this? I've seen problems with linux vs cisco -- upon boot Linux enables the interface, and the cisco switch appears to take it's own sweet time getting around to synchronizing the link (speed, etc). Linux gives up waiting. (This is on SUSE install CD). Netgear works better. Possibly your DRAC is having something to do with this? A random guess. --John _______________________________________________ Linux-PowerEdge mailing list [email protected] https://lists.us.dell.com/mailman/listinfo/linux-poweredge Please read the FAQ at http://lists.us.dell.com/faq
