Description Andrew Zabolotny 2007-11-03 16:29:05 UTC

Most recent kernel where this bug did not occur: always happened from time to time, but with latest kernels (2.6.21 and 22) it got worse (100% after resume)
Distribution: Fedora 7 x86_64 with latest updates
Hardware Environment: Gigabyte P965 DS3, Core Duo 2 CPU, 03:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8053 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 22)
Problem Description:
After booting the system I can transmit files to any computer on my LAN via FTP with a maximal possible speed on my 100Mbit LAN (about 12Mb/s). However, if I put the computer into the sleep mode (echo mem >/sys/power/state), after turning the computer back on again the upload speed drops to about 100 kilobytes per second.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Make sure you can upload a file to some LAN FTP server with high speed.
2. Switch the computer into sleep mode with echo mem > /sys/power/state or equivalent (usually I do this via Gnome's System menu).
3. After the computer turns off, turn it back on.
4. Try to upload something to same LAN FTP server. I usually get speeds around 100k/s.

Forgot to add: there is a workaround, if you do:

service network stop; rmmod sky2; service network start

the network is back at full speed.

Can you test the 2.6.23 kernel, please?

Comment 3 Andrew Zabolotny 2007-11-05 11:06:48 UTC

Indeed, 2.6.23 fixed it. I should think of this before reporting it. Thank you, I'll close the report.
