Hi!
I have a Realtek NIC, this is the output of cat /dev/pci
Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL-8139 (rev 16).
IRQ 10.
Master Capable. Latency=32. Min Gnt=32.Max Lat=64.
I/O at 0xcc00 [0xccff].
Non-prefetchable 32 bit memory at 0xd5810000 [0xd58100ff].
When I try to ping a computer on the outside I get ping times rangeing
from 0.0 ms to 100000ms
output of ping

the drastic change in ping time is when I try to download something
if I dmesg I read this
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Tx queue start entry 53 dirty entry 49.
eth0: Tx descriptor 0 is 00002000.
eth0: Tx descriptor 1 is 00002000. (queue head)
eth0: Tx descriptor 2 is 00002000.
eth0: Tx descriptor 3 is 00002000.
eth0: Setting half-duplex based on auto-negotiated partner ability 0000.
I have 10Mbit line in.
Debian unstable
using kernel 2.4.4
I have no idea whats wrong
Can somone tell me whats wrong?
