I've got these Tulip 100baseT ethernet cards here at home. Whenever I
transfer fairly large files, the collision light on my hub goes crazy.
I can still transfer at about 2 MB per second, which is plenty fast, but
it's been bugging me. It does this in communication with another Linux
box or a Win98 box, over either HTTP, FTP, or SMB. On the otherhand, I
can send a ping flood across, and the collision light only comes on
sporadically, with no packet losses.
I'm not even sure where to look for this. Since it happens with several
protocols, I'm guessing somewhere in the kernel area. Or is there
something that might need set with the card's (dos only, of course)
setup program?
