hello all, While setting up a OFC based Linux network we encounted a strange problem. The swiches used were CISCO-2900 XL series and cards are 3C905B-FX.
Since the driver is not avilable in default kernel upto 2.4.21 we downloded the one from 3COM's website. (3COM suggests NOT using 3c59x drivers for these cards). We made the cards up and tried testing the normal FTP speeds netween two Linux machines. It was close to 600 kbits/sec! Then we bypassed the CISCO switch and connected the cards using fiber-patchcord the speed then reached 2 mbits/sec. We did the same thing with windows 2k and the speed reached 90 mbits/sec. Please help / advice. thanks VAIBHAV __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? SBC Yahoo!
