Updating my T60's BIOS did nothing for this issue (I'm running Debian, 2.6.18-6). The only thing that fixed it was to update the e1000 driver. I had the same alternating latency, and transferring files over Samba was deathly slow.
The driver updates are at SourceForge: http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=42302 Note that the LATEST STABLE, 8.0.1, DID NOT FIX the issue. I went back two versions just to try it out, to 7.6.15.4. I don't know what changed in the driver -- some default setting? Something else? Hope this helps track down the issue. -- e1000 driver on thinkpad X60/T60 produces latency https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/42572 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
