Hi all,
I have two Gentoo machines (specified as Server and Client for ease).
The server networking is working fine, but the client cannot receive
without lots of collisions. The speeds I get are:
Server -> Client (i.e. receive) 170.3Kb/sec
Client -> Server (i.e. transmit) 7.383Mb/sec
The cards of both machines are running half duplex. If I try to force
them to full duplex with (ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg
off) then all I get is errors in ifconfig. The module used for
networking on the client is 8139too. Can anybody help me with this?
