I just purchased a Shuttle XPC SN27P2 barebones system.
Chipset: North Bridge - Nvidia nForce 570 Ultra
Onboard NIC: Marvell 88E1116(10/100/1000Mbps) - I also added a Intel
Dual-Server NIC and disabled the Marvell

I tried installing Debian 4.0r0, 4.0r1 and a nightly test build and they
all suffer from the same problem; an extremely slow connection to the
internet (about dial-up speed - I have a 5Meg cable connection).

Yet, if I boot off of a PCLinuxOS Live CD the network works perfectly.

I've changed cables and network cards with no luck. I'm hoping someone
here will see something that I've overlooked.

Thank you.

Do you have some sort of duplex mismatch? Ethtool or mii-tool will
report duplex status and Ethernet speed.

The most obvious difference is that Debian uses the e100 driver while
PCLinuxOS uses the eepro100 module. Is the version of the kernel the
same in both cases?

You could try to force the Debian system to use the eepro100 driver:

invoke-rc.d networking stop
modprobe -r e100
modprobe eepro100
invoke-rc.d networking start

I changed the driver from e100 to eepro100 with no change in network speed.

Even when I use the on-board NIC (Marvell) I get slow speeds so I don't think it's related to the driver of the NIC.

Could the IRQ that my NIC is assigned make a difference? I also noticed for the 'cat /proc/interrupts' that PCLinuxOS is using IO-APIC-level vs Debian's IO-APIC-fasteoi. Could that be my problem and how can I change it?

Subject: Slow Network Connection

I just purchased a Shuttle XPC SN27P2 barebones system.
Chipset: North Bridge - Nvidia nForce 570 Ultra
Onboard NIC: Marvell 88E1116(10/100/1000Mbps) - I also added a Intel Dual-Server NIC and disabled the Marvell

I tried installing Debian 4.0r0, 4.0r1 and a nightly test build and they all suffer from the same problem; an extremely slow connection to the internet (about dial-up speed - I have a 5Meg cable connection).

Yet, if I boot off of a PCLinuxOS Live CD the network works perfectly.

I've changed cables and network cards with no luck. I'm hoping someone here will see something that I've overlooked.

Thank you.

I can suggest you, if you have 2 PC and you use IPv4, to try netio
http://freshmeat.net/projects/netio/

You need to compile this old program. But i used to test connection
speed between my machines and it worked pretty good.

Hope this s

Something I found interesting...PCLinuxOS out of the ones listed below is the only one that worked for me (normal network speeds).

I noticed it's the only one that has IO-APIC-level rather than IO-APIC-fasteoi. Could that be my problem and if so how do I fix that?

Have you tried to boot with the noapic option with all of your OS to see
differences ?

Have you tried to boot with the noapic option with all of your OS to see
differences ?
