Sorry about that - it's SL5. The NIC was not detected until I installed
the r1000 driver package.

I just installed SL for the first time on an Intel Core Duo box with an MSI
G965M-FIR motherboard. This board has a Realtek RTL-8169SC network inteface
that uses the r1000 driver. Pings show a bizarre pattern. If I ping every
10 seconds, the turnaround time gradually increases with each ping until it
hits about 2 seconds, at which point it drops back to a low value and
starts climbing again. If I ping every second, I see the increasing
behavior also, with every other ping taking an extra second.
Any clues?
Hi,
Which version of SL did you install?
Back with SL 4.x we put in our own driver.
In SL 5.x the driver is now part of the normal kernel.
So, we really need to know to even start debugging.
Thanks
Troy
