Howto test and tune Gigabit Networking (1000M)
#13
Hey all, I found this thread while searching for ways to get GigE working on my Pine64 2GB. I'm not quite sure I have the latest longsleep kernel, but I did just install the most recent one I could find the other day:

Code:
kevin@pine64:~$ uname -a
Linux pine64 3.10.102-2-pine64-longsleep #66 SMP PREEMPT Sat Jul 16 10:53:13 CEST 2016 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

I added the network tuning script to /etc/rc.local, but the improvement was very minimal. Using iperf I see bandwidths rarely topping 4 Mbits/sec. If I run "sudo ethtool -s eth0 speed 100 duplex full" or plug into a 10/100 switch, I very consistently get 92+ MBits/sec.

I can live with this, but I intended to use my Pine64 as a file server, so it is falling a little short. Am I missing something?

longsleep, thank you for all your hard work on this. It's really impressive.
