my network card.
$ dmesg | grep fxp0
fxp0: <Intel 82557 Pro/100 Ethernet> port 0xec00-0xec1f mem 0xdff00000-0xdfffffff,0xdd9ff000-0xdd9fffff irq 10 at device 8.0 on pci0
This box currently uses DHCP to get its IP address. When it boots up, and I log in, and immediately try to initiate any network activity from this box, it takes about 2-3 seconds for said network activity to start. For example, if I were to ping, or startx, it takes about 2-3 seconds for either ping or startx to actually start.
During the boot sequence I notice this -> fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> inet 192.168.0.16 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:80:29:65:e2:96 media: Ethernet autoselect (none) status: no carrier
After the 2-3 seconds after the OS has booted up, it changes to -> fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=8<VLAN_MTU> inet 192.168.0.16 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255 ether 00:80:29:65:e2:96 media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active
