BTW, As an addendum this default behavior changed around 2.6.16 it
seems.
Flow control has been on by default in the tg3 driver since the
beginning, maybe e1000 only recently started to behave that way
but it's the right thing to do IMHO.
As said earlier, e1000 always honors the EEPROM setting for this,
which has been _on_ by default for all cards (AFAIK, that is).
I'm not sure:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ethtool -d eth0|grep flow
Receive flow control: disabled
Transmit flow control: disabled
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# ethtool -d eth0|grep flow
Receive flow control: enabled
Transmit flow control: enabled
Same physical NIC or different ones? In the latter case your NICs may have
different EEPROM settings. You can dump the EEPROM and compare, do something
like `ethtool -e eth0 raw on length 64| hexdump` for both interfaces and send
it to me. Only the first 64 bytes should matter.
Cheers,
Auke
