First off, the PCMCIA package for Linux is great. Good job to all involved. Hopefully you will be able to help me. I have a Dell Latitude LM P-100 with dual boot Win98 and Redhat Linux 6.0 with kern 2.2.5-15 and pcmcia 3.1.11 that was built from source. My 3CCFE574BT ethernet card (3c574_cs driver) has always claimed it was running 100Mbit but it hasn't really ran at 100 Now up until I think 3.0.14+ maybe, it ran terrible but the reported bugs list said there was problems, thats find I at least knew there was something being done about it. Now with 3.1.8+ (currently 3.1.11) it says it 100, no bugs are reported but performance is around 10Mbit. This makes me wonder, is there really a problem still?, if so fine at least I know I'm not the only one. If not then I really wonder, is it my Laptop?, well I tried a LinkSys EtherFast card, and it worked at 100, so my Laptop is ok I think. So what is the problem, that is my question, sorry if I took to long to ask it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
