Hi All.

I have five machines of a 10BaseT HUB. Two machines have 100/10BaseT
cards, the others have either ISA or PCI 10BaseT cards. I am running
kernel 2.2.14.

I have checked all cables with the specific cable tester, and
exchanged the HUB with the same model but still the same problem
remains.

Transferring 200MB of ftp data from/to 100/10BaseT machines - NO
problems or errors are indicated by ifconfig.

If however I try to xfer anything greater than ~20KB from/to either
the 10BaseT machines or from/to the 100/10BaseT machines I get (from
the transmitting machine) the following CARRIER errors:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:00:E8:89:C2:AC  
inet addr:10.10.10.1  Bcast:10.10.10.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
RX packets:71302 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:105654 errors:602 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:602
collisions:32703 txqueuelen:100 
Interrupt:18 Base address:0x8100 

on the otherhand the recieving machine gets corresponding FRAME
errors.

Can anyone offer a clue what is going on? I thought the two
100/10BaseT cards would default to the speed of the HUB.

Thanks Grahame.
