Hi all,
On an old machine I used as a workstation for years with Gentoo, I decided to turn it into a FreeBSD server for testing purposes.
The problem is that the integraded VIA Rhine seems to have problems. Transfering data to it is really slow, as I would be in a 10Mb network, but it is 100Mb.
I it interesting that inserting a Realtek nic (rl) it does work WORST like 50Kb/s but dmesg does NOT output anything strange.
If I take the hard drive and run it from other machine it simply works... but with realtek, not with via, because that machine doesn't have.
I googled a little but nothing clear.
So OK.. I don't know what to do, maybe this motherboard is dead and I should let it die peacefully
Here is some info:
Code:
$ ifconfig vr0
vr0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=8<VLAN_MTU>
ether 00:10:dc:c8:82:3b
inet 172.26.0.2 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 172.26.0.255
media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <full-duplex>)
status: active
It is running FreeBSD 7.0. A clean FreeBSD I didnt touch kernel or world. Nothing.
Regards and thankyou
