Subject: [9fans] rtl8169 gbe slow
Date: Thu, 18 Feb 2016 12:30:17 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20160218113017.GB2756@polynum.com> (raw)
Hello,
I have finally managed to install plan9 on my new workstation.
By putting back the keyboard on the PS2 connector, I have solved some
unfelicities (with the USB->legacy emulation, the keyboard switched
every other typing to UPPERCASE...).
The mouse, still USB connected and hence "emulated" by the BIOS,
does not react very gracefully but I will see if I can play with
the acceleration and the resolution to have a better terminal. (Or
if I manage to find a long enough cable to have a COM slot back since
there is the bare connector on the motherboard; in this case I will go
back to a com mouse and will be able to probe USB for other
devices---external disks.)
One thing is inconvenient: I have a rtl8169 gbe pci-e ether card, but
when testing the compilation of kerTeX (it has been fixed: it works for
the last release; rio to come for METAFONT), the throughput with hget is
abysmal: 30kB/s... The disk is not a fault, reacting well enough (I have
plenty of RAM and the blocks cache for fossil is set to 3000---it could
be obviously higher).
Setting the mtu to jumbo packet does not help.
Is there something to tune or is it simply that the chip is not well
supported?
TIA
