Dear list, I've been using FreeBSD 5.3 since BETA2 and I have this network performance problem. My network is very slow. I am on a 100Mbit Lan and when I download a file over it from the box next to me I achieve speed of 40KB/s maximum. My previous OS was 4.10 and I did not have this problem. No hardware change made! I read UPDATING and tried to set debug.mpsafenet = 0. Unfortunately it is readonly and cannot be set. My default value of debug.mpsafenet is 1! Putting it into loader.conf doesn't do the trick either. Nor does putting "options NET_WITH_GIANT" into the kernel. My system is: 5.3-BETA5 FreeBSD 5.3-BETA5 #3: Mon Sep 20 19:00:21 EEST 2004 Any ideas are welcome. Thank you in advance. Rumen Telbizov
I have just tried that - no effect. The card seems to negotiate the mode to 100baseTX fine when set to autoselect. But it doesn't seem that this is the problem.

If I were you I would see if your network cards are all set the same in either DUPLEX or SIMPLEX mode. If they are mixed you will get the symptoms you mention.

Thank you in advance.Could you provide dmesg output and kernel configuration?
