1 Hi all,
2
3 I have two Gentoo machines (specified as Server and Client for ease).
4 The server networking is working fine, but the client cannot receive
5 without lots of collisions. The speeds I get are:
6 Server -> Client (i.e. receive) 170.3Kb/sec
7 Client -> Server (i.e. transmit) 7.383Mb/sec
8 The cards of both machines are running half duplex. If I try to force
9 them to full duplex with (ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg
10 off) then all I get is errors in ifconfig. The module used for
11 networking on the client is 8139too. Can anybody help me with this?
