I had the same problem on a V100 last week - it turned out to be
auto-negotiate that was disabled in my switch, and then the tulip
driver defaulted to half-duplex mode. Loading the tulip driver with
"full_duplex=1" solved the problem for me.
So now I just need to learn if there is a way to get decent disk-
performance, i.e. if they can run in DMA mode. But that is a different
story.
