Hi,

sorry for the delayed response...

It does indeed go faster, and it seems a little bit more reliable, but
with big enough transfers it locks up too. See commandline-2.txt and
vmstat-2.txt - it gets through around 600-700MB before locking up. I
also noticed that at 3-4 points during the transfer it seemed to
"pause", and then continue.

Yes, indeed: doing "ethtool -s eth0 speed 10 autoneg off" switches it to
the slow speed, and keeps it there too (at 10Mb/s).

"ethtool eth0" still reports "Advertised auto-negotiation: Yes" and
"Auto-negotiation: on", which is probably not right. It also reports
"Advertised link modes:  10baseT/Full" only, which is probably correct.

It only actually restarts auto-negotiation when I issue the command
"ethtool -s eth0 autoneg on", at which point the speeds goes back up to
1000Mb/s - the expected behaviour. So it seems ethtool works better than
before wrt auto-negotiation.

Well this transfer (from shuttle -> hell) completed successfully. See
commandline-3.txt and vmstat-3.txt; However I noticed the speed was only
around 7 MB/s and wondered if the link speed was maybe set to 100Mb/s,
so I immediately afterwards did a "wget"-test again, which locked up
after only 5%. The wget test however did confirm the link speed to be
1000Mb/s. See commandline-4.txt and vmstat-4.txt for that last, short test.

Yes indeed. My (usb) keyboard doesn't respond at all anymore, networking
is completely out, (usb) mouse freezes too. SysRq doesn't seem to help
much either.
