I'm running Debian Lenny, kernel 2.6.22-3-686 with a mixed
wired/wireless network. The debian box is wired, the windows laptops
are wireless. My network card is
02:02.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10). The modem/router connects to the
wireless router, which in turn connects to the switch that the *nix
boxen are connected to (3 computers, 2 of which are off right now).
I just got DSL. My router/modem is weird in that it doesn't like
authenticating to anything but windows/IE (got it authenticated and
working, tho), and the first day (yesterday) I was having trouble with
firefox on both my laptop and my workstation, but that seems to have
pretty much cleared up now. The problem I'm having is that the
network seems slower on the Debian box than on the Vista laptop. Is
wireless inherently faster than ethernet, or do I have a bottleneck
somewhere? If there's a bottleneck, how do I track it down?.
TIA,
