Whilst trying to find out why I have slow transfers I noticed on boot up that F/N 9.1.1 auto
selects 100base, I confirmed via #ifconfig [my card] and the light at the nix card was orange indicating 100base, when I have 1000base card, switch, and computer with cat5e cables.
My card is an onboard one. Motherboard ASUS P5Q Pro and I've always had slow speeds even on the last version of F/N.
Now in my search I found this command:
# ifconfig [my card] [cards ip] media 1000baseTX mediaopt full-duplex
Now this changed the card to 1000base but disconnected me from the network, so I went to shell and used this amongst others: [ifconfig network-interface up], non that I tried worked.
However, I also found and entered in the shell [/etc/rc.d/netif start] I got F/N back, and went from an average of 11.5 MB/s to 30MB/s starting at around 50MB/s three times faster, a 4.5GB file in just under 2 minutes :) On a side note, every *.iso transfered became invalid over the network when I tried to play them:( Just a permissions thing :)
So my forcing it to 1000bastTx works fine.
My questions are:
1- is this a bug with F/N - in not autoselecting 1000base when available?
2- I can manually change to 1000base as above but on reboot it goes back to 100base,
so how do I get it to permanently stick/force it or autoselect it, if it's not a bug. Since we can't edit any F/N files and I don't know which file/s to edit if I could.
3 - I'm assuming that [/etc/rc.d/netif start] is the right command to start up, for I get back F/N on the network. If I'm missing any other commands/scripts that should also be implemented please advise.
At the moment I placed those lines in a script for post int to make the change on every bootup but in doing so it makes me think that this is a bug with F/N taking the easy way out in possibly not taking enough time to prove the network.
4- Unrelated question: The boot up screen, what log file is it all written to for it's different to the console messages. I would never have found this if I hadn't been messing around and glancing at the monitor on boot up. I noticed 100baseTX out of the corner of my eye.
Any answers/confirmations?
