I bought an Intel 1GB network card to replace my 100MB Netgear card. My network speed has DRAMATICALLY decreased. My network monitor shows bursts of ~100KB traffic and then pauses. This pattern repeats constantly, and between machines in the house, not over my DSL. I searched for info on this issue and found several people reported similar experiences over the years. Many also experienced high CPU utilization. But, my CPU is near 2% used. My house is 1GB over CAT6 cables. All of the networking hardware outside my computer cases is Netgear stuff, switches & routers. The Intel card uses the e1000 kernel module in a 2.6.17.14 kernel. The specific card I'm using is an "Intel PWLA8391GT Desktop Adapter PRO/1000 GT 10/100/1000Mbps PCI" What might I do to tune up this card for full GB performance? Should I just return it and get another card? I bought Intel thinking that would work, and because it was highly rated on the shopping site I visited. Thanks... -- PLEASE post a SUMMARY of the answer(s) to your question(s)!
