I first noticed the problem (slow speed) when pinging sites. I then
noticed that the problem occured on normal ssh sessions and ftp/http
downloads as well. I have a spare pcmcia card that I am using on the
same laptop so I have something to compare it against. In all the
readings below, eth0 is the builtin Intel 82573L (PCI-Express) card and
eth2 is a pcmcia D-link card (8139too driver).
You can see below the ping times varying randomly through eth0. Compare
these with the ping times through eth2 (at the bottom). Also there are
some collisions in the ethtool -S output here (I am on a 10/100 hub), I
see the same performance using a switch as well.
I am not subscribed to the list, so please cc me on your responses.
Thank you,
Aravind.
