    gigabit data transfer with GA311 mandrake 10.1 - 9.0

    hi martouf thanks for your suggestion. i followed and now both cards are forced set at 1000Mbs. But still when i do an scp between boxes using these cards i only get about 10MBs?? any ideas as to what could be wrong? im just using a standard cable not a crossover could that be the problem? anyway thanks again for your time.
  2. Hi im hoping someone can help me out. I have installed an additional GA311 network card in my mail server and backup mail server. The idea is to speed up the rsync that runs over night to sync /var/spool/imap on both. The mail server is mandrake 9.0 and the backup server is mandrake 10.1. I have installed rtl8169_8110S_linuxdrv on each machine. and set the cards up with ip addresses 192.168.9.1 192.168.9.2 Now i can transmit data but it is only at a comparible speed to a standard card. I have tried to lock the speed at 1000Mbs using the insmod r8169 media = 0x10 command contained in the driver readme file. however when run on the 10.1 box i get the error insmod: can't read 'r8169': No such file or directory and when run on the 9.0 box i get the error Using /lib/modules/2.4.19-16mdk/kernel/drivers/net/r8169.o insmod: a module named r8169 already exists If anyone has any pointers i would be grateful. Thanks Shaun
