The server networking is working fine, but the client cannot receive without lots of collisions. The speeds I get are: Server -> Client (i.e. receive) 170.3Kb/sec Client -> Server (i.e. transmit) 7.383Mb/sec The cards of both machines are running half duplex. If I try to force them to full duplex with (ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full autoneg off) then all I get is errors in ifconfig. The module used for networking on the client is 8139too. Can anybody help me with this? Some information: Server: lspci -v: 0000:02:09.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications, Inc.
