Ok gang, this one absolutely boggles me. |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
My system: |
| 4 |
|
| 5 |
AMD64 w/1.5G RAM, 200G HD, Audigy2, Realtek NIC, nVidia 6800GS. |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
So, here's my NIC as it appears in lspci (both with the Live CD, and my |
| 8 |
current install): |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
02:03.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. |
| 11 |
RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10) |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
And the driver: |
| 14 |
|
| 15 |
8139too 28992 0 |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Now then... as of 2 days ago, I've been noticing that my ethernet has |
| 18 |
been acting really whacky, with random ping times and flaky web surfing. |
| 19 |
Example ping: |
| 20 |
|
| 21 |
jmg ~ # ping yahoo.com -c 10 |
| 22 |
PING yahoo.com (66.94.234.13) 56(84) bytes of data. |

--- yahoo.com ping statistics --- |
| 45 |

| 46 |
rtt min/avg/max/mdev = 85.529/492.918/833.156/309.889 ms |
| 47 |
|
| 48 |
Look at those times. Strange eh? Even more strange, I get a nice even |
| 49 |
30-40ms ping when booting with the AMD64 Gentoo CD, so I've ruled out |
| 50 |
that my NIC card could be broken. I've also checked my iptables to make |
| 51 |
sure nothing's being blocked/dropped, and that looks fine. |
| 52 |
|
| 53 |
Here's ifconfig: |
| 54 |
|
| 55 |
jmg ~ # ifconfig |

Look at eth0. Errors? Drops? Overruns? Why? What could be wrong with |
| 76 |
this NIC all of the sudden? Again, I have 0 problems when booting the |
| 77 |
same exact setup with the Live CD. |
| 78 |
|
| 79 |
After doing some simple troubleshooting, I'll admit, I'm stumped. Any |
| 80 |
idea why my NIC works great with the Live CD and not with my currently |
| 81 |
running system? |
