Description Pablo Mariano Culler 2005-10-31 23:55:53 UTC
My modem it's an Intel 537EP. I was using kernel 2.6.11-r11 without any problem
but after kernel upgrade (2.6.13-r3) the speed goes down to 33.6 without no
posibility to increase it up. That inconvinient forced me to go back to
2.6.11-r11 waiting to the next version of 2.6.13 waiting that the problem was
solved.
Today 11-01-05 I upgraded my kernel to 2.6.13-r5 and the problem perssist
forcing me to downgrade once again...


Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1.Boot 2.6.13-r5 kernel
2.Dial with wvdial or KPPP


Actual Results:  
Connect speed indicates more than 33.6 but the transfer rate is only 3k, it does
not happen with 2.6.11 kernel... modem drivers are the latest

Expected Results:  
Connect to internet at normal speed, normally above 33.6

Errm, which drivers do you mean?

Well, then you need to complain to Intel, we don't have these in portage (only
intel-536ep).

Marking UPSTREAM.

I donn
Comment 6 Pablo Mariano Culler 2005-11-02 11:40:58 UTC
I donn´t understand why complaining to intel about this, because my problem is 
not about the latest drivers, with all intel drivers and kernel 2.6.11 the 
modem worked fine, the problem started with kernel 2.6.13. I tried with all 
driver versions on the web page and the result was always the same, the modem 
connects only at 33.6 with kernel 2.6.13
