m.musashi Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 has somebody tested the driver on a gigabit LAN? does it get to full speed? my other PC is 100mbit so cannot test thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobNyc Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 Just ran a speedtest from nyc speakeasy speedtest place Download Speed: 2664 kbps (333 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 705 kbps (88.1 KB/sec transfer rate) This is with my 2 pcs online, running itunes here on iranian radio . Now I turned off my other pc, and will stop itunes radio . Download Speed: 2782 kbps (347.8 KB/sec transfer rate) Upload Speed: 708 kbps (88.5 KB/sec transfer rate) Ok it could be faster both in down and up. Hopefully the router cant be killing some speed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.musashi Posted May 5, 2006 Author Share Posted May 5, 2006 ehm, that's an internet speed test show's how fast is your internet connection, not the ethernet card I need a LAN / intranet test to see if there's a bottleneck in the driver on a 100Mbit/s I reach max transfer speed tnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schrepfler Posted May 5, 2006 Share Posted May 5, 2006 I have a P4P800 Deluxe with the Gigabit Lan and I use the latest driver you have. Unfortunately my router is 100 Mbit but I do have a notebook with a Gigabit network interface (Intel Core Duo but only XP Home, my girlfiends property, if not it'be runing OSX by now ). So, if you explain me if I can do a direct connection between a MacOS and XP and what test should I do to get the results you want I could do it.

m.musashi Posted May 6, 2006 Author Share Posted May 6, 2006 schreplfer: thanks. To directly connect two PC via ethernet, you'd need a cross-over cable, which I guess you do not have with this cable you just setup the LAN as you would with a router, just using manual IP settings at that point, folder sharing, file transfer, network monitor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope it works, are you referring to the XP network monitor? Should I report estimate numbers or is there some tool I can use that can give accurate stats? Also, is a comparison with a laptop really up to par as it probably has a slower HDD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use netperf to stress test the network (www.netperf.org) and get statistics but even net monitor under XP or Net Monitor for OSX (homepage.mac.com/rominar/net.html) can work as a first test to show bandwidth saturation but yeah, as you've correctly pointed out a laptop HD on a gigabit LAN test is going to be a bottleneck ... already it is sometime on 100mbits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schrepfler Posted May 7, 2006 Share Posted May 7, 2006 I have transferred a 2.6 GB file over windows sharing (samba?). Windows reported incoming bytes/sec at around 14.6 MB/s, OSX was reporting 28 MB/s under Activities Monitor. If you pm me with your email I'll send you a windows screenshot of the network traffic. (a sharp drop in speed on the graph coincided with a click from one of the hdd's so I guess the OS was putting it to sleep so don't worry about that).

crazlunatic Posted May 9, 2006 Share Posted May 9, 2006 why doesn't it work for me? I have the exact same integrated Network Gigabit LAN? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schrepfler Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 why doesn't it work for me? I have the exact same integrated Network Gigabit LAN? Did you modify the plist so that you include the deviceid of your network device? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toshinori Posted May 10, 2006 Share Posted May 10, 2006 Ok, a really dumb question. Where, and how do I modify the appleyukon.kext? I can't find it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schrepfler Posted May 11, 2006 Share Posted May 11, 2006 Ok, a really dumb question. Where, and how do I modify the appleyukon.kext? I can't find it! I don't think there is one, this is the port of the skge driver from linux so look for something like skge.kext . Yukon is for the yukon2 chipsets (this is for the yukon1's but no one is calling the yukons). Check wheter this driver applies for your network interface. These are the comments you can get from the linux kernel on chipset support: SKGE config comments: It does not support the link failover and network management features that "portable" vendor supplied sk98lin driver does. + This driver supports adapters based on the original Yukon chipset: + Marvell 88E8001, Belkin F5D5005, CNet GigaCard, DLink DGE-530T, + Linksys EG1032/EG1064, 3Com 3C940/3C940B, SysKonnect SK-9871/9872. + + It does not support the newer Yukon2 chipset: a separate driver, + sky2, is provided for Yukon2-based adapters.

thebookfreak58 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Hey all, I just found this thread and driver yesterday, and it worked without a hitch on my 3C940, in 10.4.3. To the devs. thanks a million, i was using an old 10MBps card, and it sucked. Back to Gigabit..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

moonhill Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 I have P4P800 Deluxe which must have identical onboard lan (3c940). I checked Ubuntu live results. It showed that it's Yukon skge device but not showing somethinglike 88e8001. I edited info.plist under Appleyukon.kext. I copied skge.kext into Extensions directory. But even dmesg doesn't show any trace of network. What did I do wrong? Ethernet is wholly out in dmesg. Please advice me what I should do. I used Jas 10.4.6 install dvd with PPF1. I tried to find what ven & dev I have on my onboard 3c940 lan. It's odd. It's VEN 10B7 (3COM), DEV 1700. How come I have totally different DEV and VEN though I have same board with other's ASUS P4P800 DX? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m.musashi Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 you should edit the info.plist in the skge.kext, not Appleyukon.kext Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moonhill Posted May 19, 2006 Share Posted May 19, 2006 Thanks for your input. I'll try again. BTW, is it possible that I have a different lan though it's 3c940? I attach my dmesg. I have no idea what I should look at for any possible problem. At least I do not see any ethernet device detected or loaded.

m.musashi Posted May 19, 2006 Author Share Posted May 19, 2006 it's very easy FIRST, replace 0x432011AB with 0x170010b7 in the info.plist THEN, follow install instructions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
