I just tested my dummy0 network connection and I can scp at 40MB/sec which definitely puts it above the 100Mb/sec limit. Where does it identify itself as being 100Mbit?
Actually, I don't know how to tell it its speed, or for that matter I seem to not be able to find out what it thinks its speed is. And, of course when I try doing an scp, it xfer'd a 100MB file at ~16.7MB/s, so this may have just been an issue in the past and has magically changed speeds (I hate random magic...). I do remember doing an scp and seeing only ~1MB/s speeds.
For completeness, and I'd also like to bump it up to 1000Mb/s or higher if I can, how would I go about finding out it's speed and changing it? ethtool says 'No data available' and mii-tool says "SIOCGMIIPHY on 'pdummy0' failed: Operation not supported".
Thanks for any help :)
