eth errors
Posted by Grimnar on Sat 28 Feb 2009 at 00:08
Hi again everyone!:) A few weeks ago my ethernet card started acting up. Im getting a lot of dropouts. In ifconfig eth1 this is showing up:
eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:0c:46:28:18:18
inet addr:my.ip Bcast:other.ip Mask:255.255.252.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:61017346 errors:54844 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:54844
TX packets:10923860 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:3164354708 (2.9 GiB) TX bytes:1693136419 (1.5 GiB)
Now this is the ethernet card that gives me the internets. And its very noticeble during streaming and gaming. Very frustrating. This is a 6000/4000 DSL service so I should be able to stream small internett videos without any problems. And according to lspci, this is the hardware installed: Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82562EZ 10/100 Ethernet Controller (rev 02)So what is wrong here? Is it the network cable? The modem? Or is it some driver problems? How can I check the driver / Update it? (Linux 2.6.26-1-686 #1 SMP Sat Jan 10 18:29:31 UTC 2009 i686 GNU/Linux @ Intel P4 2.8 HT, do I even have the correct kernel???)

I hooked my mac direct to the cable modem and everythings is okay from this part.(IE, video strems like it should) So either the cable is broken or the nic is broken/ or driver problems. Small chances its the cable.. And of course, I dont have a spare cable at this time..

Okay, so now I finally swapped the network cable from the modem to the computer as well. Still the same poor results.
Earlier today I found the intel e100 drivers and tried to install them. This is the result:

can't you just borrow a network cable from somewhere to test this out? Any self respecting friend should have several laying around.
