| 02:05.45 | pahartik | dorjek: Acknowledged |
| 02:08.07 | pahartik | dorjek: Get new block storage device to replace it with, either solid-state or disk... At least if your iBook G4 is still in good shape otherwise |
| 02:11.49 | dorjek | indeed |
| 02:12.27 | dorjek | i've got a second ibook that i'm trying |

| 20:08.03 | pahartik | Nalle_: I seem to be awake |
| 20:09.19 | Nalle_ | Excellent. I might need your expertise on diagnosing a network throughput problem :( |
| 20:17.52 | pahartik | Nalle_: What happened? |
| 20:18.14 | Nalle_ | Apparently my 10/100 NIC is being only used in 10Mbits mode due to bad driver |
| 20:18.38 | Nalle_ | So my network drive is severily limited in transfer speeds because of that |
| 20:19.31 | Nalle_ | The drive can do around 13.5 MB/sec but the NIC is limiting it down to about 1.1 MB/sec :/ |
| 20:20.44 | pahartik | Nalle_: What kind of network adapter? |
| 20:20.56 | Nalle_ | A RTL 8029A |
| 20:21.01 | Nalle_ | It is a 10/100 PCI NIC |
| 20:21.10 | Nalle_ | Added it because the G3's built-in is 10Mbits only |
| 20:21.25 | Nalle_ | But apparently the driver in use (ne2k-pci) only uses it in 10Mbits mode |
| 20:26.31 | pahartik | Nalle_: My advice is to replace it with "Intel Pro/1000 GT" adapter |
| 20:27.15 | Nalle_ | Haven't gotten any around. Only options is t his RTL 8029 or couple of SMC cards :) |
| 20:27.45 | Nalle_ | I think. |
| 20:28.05 | Nalle_ | Not sure exactly what cards I have stashed but probably |
| 20:29.24 | Nalle_ | Ari suggested that I'll give it a try with different set of drivers first |
| 20:29.38 | Nalle_ | IF that doesn't help then I guess I'll have to see what huuto.net has to offer in terms of suitable NICs :) |
| 20:31.54 | pahartik | Nalle_: I have actively avoided anything "RTL"... But "modinfo" shows parameters used by any driver module |
| 20:33.12 | Nalle_ | Well, I chose the RTL because I had one and Ari told me that it had the best support in Debian. Apparently not quite so :) |
| 20:34.30 | Nalle_ | How can I tell if the link speed on that NIC is 10 or 100 ? |
| 20:34.37 | Nalle_ | Also, how to set it to 100 if it turns out to be 10 ? |
| 20:34.49 | Nalle_ | I tried ethtool |
| 20:34.49 | pahartik | Nalle_: Is cable good enough for 100 megabits per second? |
| 20:35.05 | Nalle_ | But it doesn't show any settings available for the card |
| 20:35.07 | Nalle_ | Yea |
| 20:35.09 | Nalle_ | It is |
| 20:35.18 | Nalle_ | Only maybe 5 meters long too |
| 20:38.52 | Nalle_ | Ah, looks like the card is 10M card |
| 20:38.54 | Nalle_ | :/ |
| 20:38.56 | Nalle_ | That'd explain it |
| 20:39.02 | Nalle_ | Looks like I need to replace it |
| 20:45.57 | Nalle_ | Only other options I have are; SMC EtherPower II 10/100 (83c171a2qf chipset), SMC 1255TX (en5251be chipset) or 3Com Fast EtherLink XL card |
| 20:46.04 | Nalle_ | Any picks? |
| 20:46.56 | Nalle_ | The SMCs are 10/100 for sure, but the 3Com is probably 10 only |
| 20:47.00 | Nalle_ | Dunno about driver support |
| 20:47.40 | pahartik | Nalle_: Would try "SMC EtherPower II 10/100" first and "3Com Fast EtherLink XL" second |
