THAT is the built-in ethernet 10/100 for my Gateway laptop.
(running edgy 6.10 live cd 10-11-2006 ) with updates.
----
Next LOOK at the MTU's of eth1 (which is the 10/100 to the my cable modem )
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ip link list

----------
See how its set to "576" AND NOT "1500", this would explain allot of very slow
downloads.. and stalling.
----------
Now if I do this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ifconfig eth1 mtu 1500
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ip link list
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,10000> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,10000> mtu 1500 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:03:25:28:93:b3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000
link/ether 00:14:a5:41:e4:99 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: sit0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop
link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
----------------
You can see its NOW that I've set the MTU's to 1500
and my download speeds have increase allot very much so.
--------------
BUT WHEN, I reboot, my laptop and do this:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ sudo ip link list
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,10000> mtu 16436 qdisc noqueue
link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: eth1: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,10000> mtu 576 qdisc pfifo_fast qlen 1000
link/ether 00:03:25:28:93:b3 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
3: eth0: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 qdisc noop qlen 1000
link/ether 00:14:a5:41:e4:99 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
4: sit0: <NOARP> mtu 1480 qdisc noop
link/sit 0.0.0.0 brd 0.0.0.0
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$
-------------------
As you can see the MTU's are Back to "576" and not setting at "1500"
SO, THERE IS a bug with DHCP or your ethernet driver somewhere....???
Hope this is enough information to FIX it,
if not please email me. [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Thank You.
