Hi,
I have two machine connected using crossover cable and LinkSys EtherFast
10/100 Cards. (same card on both machine). I only get 4-5Mbyte/sec
when ftp or nfs between each other. Both machine are running Woody.
I am sure it's not the best it can get with those NICs. I can get
9-10Mbytes/sec if I boot one machine into freebsd. here is ifconfig
from freebsd:
dc0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
inet 192.168.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.0.255
inet6 fe80::203:6dff:fe1b:b60e%dc0 prefixlen 64 scopeid 0x2
ether 00:03:6d:1b:b6:0e
media: autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>) status: active
supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX
10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP none
(I do not know how to get duplex status on debian, help me?)
I just tested it again (using 130M big file):
ncftp reports: (debian) --> (freebsd) 8.24 MB/s
(debian) <-- (freebsd) 9.54 MB/s
I can only get 60% of that when have both to be Debian. Both debian
are using the driver compiled from the source comes in floppy(4.1
version)
Is there any way I can tune it up?
Thanks,
Jack
