[NTLUG:Discuss] Cable Modem Blues

[Richard Geoffrion]

I think it was the linksys card that gave me that problem.  hm.... I wound up using the old_tulip driver for some such network card or another. The tulip driver had a problem staying connected to the hub, I would have to reset everything to get it to re-connect.  By chance I tried the old_tulip module and everything is working great!

(hope I'm not off base too much....but try a different driver.)

kudos for the ping flood test!  ..Way to troubshoot!

            Basically, I am trying to say is do you think it is a Linux problem 
    ?? Re-setting cable modem to fix it sounds like modem problem. Or its 
    configuration. Did this setup work fine under Windows, and problem started 
    when you installed Linux ?? 
     
  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.
