Hi I recently switched from several rl-NICs to one quad ste-NIC (D-Link DFE-580tx) since I was running out of PCI-slots. The new NIC works very well except for one problem with kernel-pppoe. The SDSL-modem is connected to ste0 and hostname.pppoe0 is configured as described in the docs (and this configuration worked flawless with a rl-NIC). But now I only get 1/100 of the bandwidth over the pppoe-link it should have and the only way to fix this I found so far is to repower the modem. After that, pppoe reastablishes the link and I get full bandwidth. No idea what might cause this, so how can can I debug this?
