Hi ppl, today I had a problems with DEC21143 tulip cards. The problem was that card goes into 10mps mode just after linux loading. It seems that there are problems with tulip drivers. Tommorow I will try to recompile the kernel defining default media type 100baseTx. Probably this will help somehow. HOwever I would like to know is there any any 100mps cards which are working reliable at heaivy load. The main goal is to setup a network with star topology, i.e. one central box with 6-7 100mps channels attached to it as well 4-5 10mps ones. Any suggesions concerning hardware components for this central box? How much ROM, which CPU and motherboard I should look for?
Thanks for any points, Eugene Sevinian ---------------------------- CRD, YerPhI, 375036, Armenia URL: http://crdlx5.yerphi.am/ Phone: 374-2-344873
