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
