>I have some problems with a built in network card on my Asus A7V8X-X motherboard. The network card is recognized by the vr driver as a VIA VT6102 Rhine II 10/100 Mbit. The problems that I have are that when I do transfers like ftp or cvs checkouts and the speed goes above 100-200 Kbyte/s the card resets it self in someway and give these error messages (I have only tested with a 10Mbit halfduplex Hub):
Yup, VIA Rhine (vr0) sucks for any kind of heavy load with 100Mbit full and
half duplex. Evil motherboard designers should pick something else.
I tried to use vr0 on an NFS server and have now replaced it with a 3COM
3C905.
