2.2 <-> 2.4.5-ac5 tcp too slow

2.2 <-> 2.4.5-ac5 tcp too slow

[Tom Vier]

i seem to remember this being mentioned before, but couldn't find any
reference in the list archives. i have an x86 laptop running 2.2.17 (2.2.19
has the same effect) and an alpha pws 500 running 2.4.5-ac5. tcp starts slow
and get slower. it's not a 10/100 or duplex issue. icmp goes at full speed.
it doesn't matter which side starts the connection. has anyone else
experienced this? any suggestions?

i tracked it down to the 8139 driver in 2.4.

Same here. I've set up an Alpha Ruffian with a Quad Starfire as a new
firewall. My test clients were x86/2.2.16-18 up to now. TBench between
two clients directly: 10 MB/S. TBench through the 2.4.4/5 router: 0,4
MB/s.

Right now I am compiling 2.4.5 on the clients to verify that it's an
2.2 vs 2.4 issue.
