I'm having a lot of difficulty getting my RealTek NIC to behave. I'm using the re(4) driver, which was chosen for me by sysinstall, but my transfer speeds are dog slow (just over 1mbps).
Here's some relevant output:
I've played a bit with the settings, which might be evident from the output above. Particularly, I tried the following suggestion from a number of other forum posts:
Unfortunately, this doesn't seem to have any effect (good nor bad). I also tried changing the media type, since I'm guessing this problem has something to do with the fact that it's set to 10baseT/UTP. According to man re(4), my driver-compatible media types are:
I've tried them all, but each time I change it, I get:
I've used this same hardware under Mac OS X and Linux with no problems, so I'm fairly sure it's not a hardware problem. Any suggestions? Thanks to anyone willing to read and/or reply.
