I couldn't find anything in the outputs that would explain the fault :-( However, I think that the "working slow" state is different from the "frozen" state. I can't explain at all what change in hardware could explain the "working slow" state - any power management would stop traffic completely, duplex mismatch would not produce such delays to small ping packets - so I would look at either routing or the switch. Talking about power management (in which I have very little knowledge), could you check what are the APM/ACPI setting of the computer and maybe play with them ? Could you try the driver from Scyld ? If I'm not mistaken the power management is different in this one. Could you try 3Com's driver (well, supposing that you could get it to work) ? If my memory doesn't fail me, this one didn't use any power management at all... -- Bogdan Costescu IWR - Interdisziplinaeres Zentrum fuer Wissenschaftliches Rechnen Universitaet Heidelberg, INF 368, D-69120 Heidelberg, GERMANY Telephone: +49 6221 54 8869, Telefax: +49 6221 54 8868 E-mail: [email protected] _______________________________________________ vortex mailing list [email protected] http://www.scyld.com/mailman/listinfo/vortex
