Dear all, on a brand new DELL computer CentOS 5.1 installs well, but the internet connection is extremely slow (8 kB/s, indeed kiloBytes !). Did anyone find a solution to that problem ? It might be more DELL specific than CentOS specific.
That is why I would probably ask DELL support (or look to see if they have their own set of drivers for this model) and ask on their forums/mailinglist.
PS It would probably help to say what DELL hardware or at least what brand/model of Network Interface Card to have any meaningful conversation :)
