I think it is a linux problem. I notice a lot of colisions on my hub when I am
in Linux on my laptop. Never had that be=fore I upgraded to RH7.1. My eth0
also fails upon bootup, looks like it is trying to initialize before
cardservices, but when I get into the gui, I can access the internet. I only
have the problem downloading large files, anything that takes up a lot of
bandwidth. Like I said, I get a lot of collisions on the hub, and I dont get
this when I am on the same machine in windows. I have a 10/100 + 56K Linksys
card, and am using pcnet_cs module for it as recommended on Linksys "Limited"
Linux support page. I was wondering, if for some reason linux was running the
card as a 100 tx instead of 10 tx would that cause a problem? I only have a
10meg hub currently.
