100Mbs ether cards talking @ 10Mbs ...

[Jan Pfeifer <janpf@iname.com>]

hi,

I have two computers connected with a crossover cable (BTW, thanks
&rw), both with 100Mb/s ethernet cards (SIS900 & RealTek 8139) but
they seem to be connected only by 10Mb/s (NFS transfers are at a bit
more than 1 mbyte/s). I just compiled the drivers into the kernel. 

am I forgetting to set something ? I think maybe this is a too
specific question for this list (sorry), so any pointers to other
lists/documents are welcome.

thanks,

:-)

ps.: I've read the Ethernet and NFS HOWTO, but found nothing
appropriate.

ps2.: Kernel (2.4.0-test9) messages about eth0:
