Hi all,

I have 2 HP ProLiant DL585 (G7) connected directly (no switch).
Those servers has:

Code:

Ethernet controller: NetXen Incorporated NX3031 Multifunction 1/10-Gigabit Server Adapter

network cards.

The system sees this cards as 1Gbit:

Code:

ethtool eth3
Settings for eth3:
	Supported ports: [ TP ]
	Supported link modes:   10baseT/Half 10baseT/Full 
	                        100baseT/Half 100baseT/Full

ethtool -i eth3

I'm running slackware 13.1 (2.6.33.4-smp).

Any suggestion to get 10Gbit bandwidth ?

Ahhhhh My net cards are 1Gbit only ... (a label with 10G referes to a possible upgrade ...) sorry
