hi
go with neat command and check that is it active or not , if not then plz active that one

It seems that you have the same problem with me.
Please do like this: install kernel-devel-(kernel version).rpm; searching from the internet for it. Then su, install by rpm -ivh kernel-devel.***.rpm
, change to the src folder, make install.
Restart your PC, enjoy it.

Of course, you must know what is your hardware version, open the website for a linux driver source files from that in order to build the driver.

I never heard of a Linux command named neat, what package do you find it in?

I think he meant net command.

bhrugu,
If you meant net, not neat, please edit your post to fix the spelling. As it stands now, your answer is confusing.

i desprately need the ethtool support and i am loking for all options of ethtool for changing NIC parameters

interface parameters is ‘ethtool -C eth0 adaptive-rx off
adaptive-tx off rx-usecs 20 rx-frames 5 tx-usecs 60 tx-

The Linux command to improvement in the processing of UDP traffic from the
do this is “ethtool -G eth0 rx 511 rx-jumbo 255 tx 511’. tuning, at all message rates.
to be precise ineed all upper changes to tune my nic.
but the ethtool options not working properly.

Even though you have not given the version of Cent OS you are using, 8139 is by default supported and theres no need to recompile your kernel. It has got the drivers for your network card and I have used it with Cent OS5. There could be problems with the connection. You could try again by pulling out the card, cleaning it and then again putting it back.
