cbreaker Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Greetings, I have an AMD box with a Marvell Yukon NIC built on to the board. I've always had very bad luck with these NICs in Windows, so my issues in MacOS don't really surprise me.. Basically, network access to any machines on the LAN is extremely slow. For instance, if I connect to an SMB share, and copy a file, I get about 10k a second. On the LAN. From Windows, using an Intel NIC (but otherwise the same machine) I can copy the same file from the same file server at around 70 - 90 MBit. So, it's not the file server. It's also not the MacOS samba stack, because I can copy to/from a virtual machine running in parallels at a decent speed. It's only when going out with this crappy Marvell Yukon. Does anyone have any suggestions for me? ps. Problem is also with HTTP, FTP, everything.

oldschool Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Try to configure the NIC via the controlpanel. I noticed in my case the yukon was set to auto and only worked in 10mbit modus... Simply make a manual setup. Rgds. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39615-extremely-slow-network-file-copies/#findComment-282476 Share on other sites More sharing options...
cbreaker Posted January 23, 2007 Author Share Posted January 23, 2007 Well, I'll give that a try but 10Mbit isn't really acceptable either. I also have an Intel Pro 1000 card, but that doesn't seem to work with OSX, it is detected but always shows the link speed as 0 Mbit.

BebopBlues Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 I'm just noticing the slow speed also, but the weird thing is when I have a download going from safari at the same time, then the network file transfer would speed up to normal. There's a bug somewhere. I have the marvell yukon gigabit NIC also.

oldschool Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 Well, I'll give that a try but 10Mbit isn't really acceptable either. I mean the yukon have autoselecting 10mbit. I have manually configured as 100mbit/fullduplex and got more speed... Rgds.

DiaboliK Posted February 8, 2007 Share Posted February 8, 2007 what it say in system profiler? you may have a half way functioning driver. heres mine: my fix is linked to my sig. and you may want to try switching off ipv6 in the network pref pane. (havent tired but, people said it works) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39615-extremely-slow-network-file-copies/#findComment-297201 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BebopBlues Posted February 16, 2007 Share Posted February 16, 2007 <key>Yukon-88E8053</key>change to <key>Yukon-88E8050</key> and change <string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8053</string> to <string>Yukon Gigabit Adapter 88E8050</string> My card is an 88E001, so I should change those to 88E001 right? I look at my network in system profiler and everything looks correct, the yukon 88E8001 is seen as en0. And aside from the slow network transfer from the Windows shared volume, everything else seems to work (internet and samba connection). I'm not sure if this is a Yukon driver or samba problem. Any ideas anyone? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/39615-extremely-slow-network-file-copies/#findComment-304612 Share on other sites More sharing options...
