    Hi

    Greetz for all.

    I'm having some issues with my Raspberry Pi early B model with 256 Mb of ram.

    I have raspbmc latest build and it works fine except network.

    Here are some test i've done which are strange. Have raspbmc and nasbox with Centos7 on x86 PC, connected via a tplink or sitecom 10/100 non managed switch. Connection between both devices is slow and from raspberry pi very slow.

    raspbmc
    Linux raspbmc 3.12.31 #2 PREEMPT Wed Oct 29 09:24:56 UTC 2014 armv6l GNU/Linux

    as you can see connection test on speedtest shows a much better speeds which is very strange.
    I suspected switch issues but on the other one is the same.

    Any thoughts ?

    Regards
    Tom
