| |
Not sure if this is linux kernel related or not. Just wanted to throw it out there to see if anyone else had seen it. When using the tlan driver on a new compaq 1600, if I am connected to these old Intel hubcards (ISA? cards in old 286 computers that provide ports at low cost for when 10BaseT hubs were expensive) I have many lost packets. When plugging into a normal hub, everything is fine.
Similiar behavior is not seen on a plethora(sp) of win95/win98/NT/Apples plugged into the same cards.
This may just be a problem with intel hubcards, but if there is anything the tlan driver or tlan card (Compaq NetFlex) is doing wrong, I'd like to get to the bottom of that just in case there is a problem with some other hubs out there (we sell a lot of Compaq).
Like I said, about half the packets in a ping or any other type of connection simply don't get there. I can do a tcpdump or something else if someone wants to take a look.
