über-slow Internet
I've just installed NetBSD-6.1.5 on an ASUS-K701 laptop, Ethernet card: Qualcomm Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 Gigabit or Fast Ethernet. My problem is that my network connection is incredibly slow, which makes the process of installing new software very long (it took me as long as one night to install GNOME with all dependencies). Here's part of dmesg output:
Code:

I do not use NetBSD, but if you're getting such high pings, then perhaps choose a mirror closer to you?

Graphic regime is working fine on this installation so far, but I'd need to testdrive it properly through playing videos, for which I'd need to install video players, for which I'd need fast Internet A good question though, I'll let you know as soon as I've worked out the net issues. |

This was useful to me
I don't know if after 2 months you are gonna see this.
I suffered the same problem. Until I find this page: /https://wiki.netbsd.org/tutorials/tu...r_performance/ I am still testing with some of the values given in that page, because I think this page is a bit outdated, but in my case increasing the values of net.inet.tcp.sendbuf_max=16777216 net.inet.tcp.recvbuf_max=16777216 have increased my internet speed. In fact, right now I am testing with the triple of the above mention, so far without problems. |

Did you notice that the guy had 1 Gigabit controller? What tuning are you talking about? That thing should be smoking fast. What puzzled me now is the fact that his interface is listed
as Code:
ale0 Code:

Anyway, I don't remember any problems with network on that installation. Shall I try 5.x now? NetBSD-5.2.3 was released just a few months ago... Last edited by DaBSD; 9th April 2015 at 08:18 PM. |

I think it's about time to inform the respective NetBSD mailing list about this network issue. |
