Does that server have Intel EthernetExpress Pro 100 network card(s)? I |
| 20 |
did have some problems with those in the past, somewhere around 2002 or |
| 21 |
2003 when the server in question was still running Red Hat 7.3. |
| 22 |
|
| 23 |
Anyway, in that point of time a driver called e100 was causing all kind |
| 24 |
of problems, but the other one called eepro100 was working fine. Or then |
| 25 |
it was other way around, can't remember any more. ;-) |
| 26 |
|
| 27 |
So if the NIC matches, try to switch the driver. Also please make sure |
| 28 |
NIC is using correct duplex, so for example it's not using 100 Mbit/s |
| 29 |
half duplex instead of 100 Mbit/s full duplex. You may use ethtool or |
| 30 |
mii-tool command for that. |
