Hi all!
I've just upgraded my server (x86, Debian stable) to kernel 2.4.20, and since
then the network has been buggy. Uploading to the server (using scp) is very
slow (between 100-0 KB/sec on a 100 MBit network), and lots of errors occur:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:FC:21:D1:AC
inet addr:10.0.0.1 Bcast:10.0.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1

RX bytes:26054575 (24.8 MiB) TX bytes:336039659 (320.4 MiB)
Interrupt:10 Base address:0xa000
At first I thought it had something to do with the new 10/100 MBit switch I
just bought, but the same behaviour started to appear on another server after
I upgraded it to 2.4.20.
Both servers use a RealTek 8139 NIC, using the 8139too kernel module.
The weird thing is: I've booted my server using the standard Debian kernel
(2.4.18-bf2.4) and still the same errors occur! And I'm sure that networking
worked fine before the upgrade to 2.4.20.
I really hope someone can help me with this, since I really don't have a clue
as to how to start fixing this!
Greetings,
Sybren
