Hi.
My PowerMac 7300 seems to be dropping quite a few packets (about 40%)
with NetBSD 2.0 stable (generic). I searched the list archives and
read quite a few similar inquiries, and a lot of them had 7300s as
well. I couldn't really find a solution, though. Is there one?
I had 1.6.2 installed a little while ago and networking was completely
unusable, dropping almost everything. NetBSD 2.0 seems to have made a
significant improvement (ftp transfers over the LAN download at about
950kbps, whereas before I was lucky to even get a connection). I've
never had to deal with any kernel dropping packets, so I'm just
wondering what can be done about it.
Thanks!
