I have noticed that on my 8.2 system, the rtl8139 card is significantly slower then the other card in the system (intel ether express 10/100+)..
I have also heard it said that that is quiet a common complaint.. do you have another card you can try?? I have an old 10+ card that most of the time outperforms the realtec card.. no idea why though. rgds Frank -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:newbie-owner@;linux-mandrake.com]On Behalf Of Miark Sent: Monday, 4 November 2002 2:37 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] Dog-slow networking > what is the network card in the desktop?
