Comment 58 for bug 38865

Hello all,

i had the same problem in the past, then i tried to understand what's was going on the network ,and then i was able to solve the problem for me.

Problem is this stupid module is going bad with autonegotiation with some switches (sure with mine!). I solved my problem (i'm using one Toshiba Tecra A3 to write, with such adapter:) )simply writing

ethtool -s eth0 autoneg off

then , the problem has ceased.

So, i believe the problem when downloading large files happens with autonegotiation, but i can't be more precise.

hope being useful,

Uriel
