Re: Bug#260755: Forcedeth Ethernet Device Very Slow
I'm running a stock kernel 2.6.7-bk8 on an up-to-date (as much as
possible) testing box and I too notice performance issues with Ethernet
compared to kernel-image-2.6.6-1-k7. I'm running Asus A7N8X-VM/400
NForce2 chipset. I have DSL and usually hover around 50Kbps with all my
machines and since I went with 2.6.7-bk8, I've yet to see the box do much
over 30Kbps.
I do not see any TX or RX errors when I look at ifconfig. Is this where
you were noticing errors?
Regards,
Brian
