[Bug 1453391] Re: Very slow Qualcomm Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 Gigabit or Fast Ethernet (rev b0)

 

Thank you so much, Joseph, for agreeing to help.

These all seem bad.  Please find the results:

Linux Main-PC 3.14.0-031400-generic #201403310035 SMP Mon Mar 31 04:36:23 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
result = 7.8MB/sec thoughput

Linux Main-PC 3.16.0-031600-generic #201408031935 SMP Sun Aug 3 23:36:11 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
result = 7.8MB/sec thoughput

Linux Main-PC 3.19.0-031900-generic #201504091832 SMP Thu Apr 9 17:35:46 UTC 2015 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
result = 600kB/sec thoughput


I took the liberty of trying v3.13.11=trusty with better results.  

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.13.11-trusty/

Linux Main-PC 3.13.11-031311-generic #201404222035 SMP Wed Apr 23 00:36:02 UTC 2014 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
result = 32MB/sec thoughput


however with v3.13.11 I had to manually disable and enable the network for it to ping out - so I believe this version isnt 100% either.


What next?
