Subject: network card buzzing
Date: Thu, 09 Dec 2004 14:33:39 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <41B86243.7090507@mega.ist.utl.pt> (raw)
hi everyone
I tought it was normal to have a buzzing on the network card while it
transmits/receives high quanitities of data and using almost all of it's
bandwidth... I had such a network card on my desktop and now my laptop does the
same.
the laptop is a (smart-battery powered) acer travelmate 4001 WLMi and the
network card is a broadcom (b44) 10/100Mbps.
after rejecting the idea, I decided to try the same on another OS... windows. it
doesn't buzz while transmiting/receiving at 80Mbps whereas on linux it does. one
can hear exactly when there is activity and when there isn't.
is this a problem? hardware issue? software issue? acpi? plain bad luck? what is
happening here?
regards,
pedro venda.
