Hello, i'm trying to find out if the network device (RTL8100) driver is really transferring at 100Mbps. The net device is in a machine with a Geode 400Mhz GX2 proc running MontaVista Linux (a rpm-based distro for embedded devices). I recompiled its 2.4.18 kernel with the updated driver from Realtek. How do i find out if it really can transmit at 100Mbps I've tested it by connecting to an laptop with Windblows XP and Redhat 7.3. The cable was made for a 100Mbps connection (i google'd it and crossed the wires myself!). Anyway, during the tests, different files of various file sizes were transferred using FTP and NFS.
I transferred files from/to MVL to/from Windows, and here are the results: Average transfer with MVL as FTP host: 1MB/s (8Mbps) Average transfer with WinXP (war-ftp) as ftp host: for get: 5MB/s (40Mbps) for put: 10MB/s (80Mbps) For the NFS transfer, i copied files of various sizes from Redhat to MVL. (Redhat is the "host"). The average transfer speed for this is 3MB/s (24Mbps). I need to find some documentation/anything to support my claim that this could really transfer at 100Mbps. I'm still searching google, but it might be easier to ask around. TIA. -- eman http://www.bloodpet.tk/ Look ma.
