Hi all,

Is it even possible to achieve gigabit speeds using intel's 82540EM
chipsets on rh9?

I installed the latest e1000 driver from Intel, tried some of the tips
listed here, etc., but the fastest I get is ~4.0M. Also, the card "bursts"
data, i.e. 0 to 4m,.

If anyone knows anyone who got it to work, or maybe a better
troubleshooting guide than intel's own website please share!

R.
