On a 100baseTX LAN with virtually no traffic, it can manage to FTP (send/receive) at ~1100kBps (using a Compaq Armarda 1750 - Celeron/300). Lose95 reports the same, so it's not a problem with the FreeBSD driver. When I load up the LAN (eg FTPing between several other hosts) and try sniffing it (tcpdump), the system effectively freezes ("netstat -I ep0 5" stops, and then reports ludicrous error rates). Since network snooping was the whole point of this exercise, I guess I need a new NIC (whch will probably need CardBus support). --- sys/i386/isa/if_ep.c~ Sat Sep 4 10:05:16 1999 +++ sys/i386/isa/if_ep.c Sat Sep 4 15:47:47 1999 @@ -205,6 +205,7 @@ switch (epb->prod_id) { case 0x6055: /* 3C556 */ case 0x4057: /* 3C574 */ + case 0x4b57: /* 3C574B */ epb->mii_trans = 1; break; case 0x9058: /* 3C589 */ Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Sun Sep 5 19:46:50 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from dingo.cdrom.com (castles510.castles.com [208.214.165.74]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 66DC714E65 for ; Sun, 5 Sep 1999 19:46:46 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mike@dingo.cdrom.com) Received: from dingo.cdrom.com (LOCALHOST [127.0.0.1]) by dingo.cdrom.com (8.9.3/8.8.8) with ESMTP id TAA15344; Sun, 5 Sep 1999 19:27:55 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from mike@dingo.cdrom.com) Message-Id: <199909060227.TAA15344@dingo.cdrom.com> X-Mailer: exmh version 2.0.2 2/24/98 To: Peter Jeremy Cc: hardware@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: Decent 100baseTX PCMCIA card wanted In-reply-to: Your message of "Mon, 06 Sep 1999 10:59:26 +1000." <99Sep6.105734est.40333@border.alcanet.com.au> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Date: Sun, 05 Sep 1999 19:27:55 -0700 From: Mike Smith Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org > Does anyone have any suggestions for a PCMCIA card that can snoop a > heavily loaded 100baseTX LAN using a Celeron/300.

You should be able to get one for a song and a dance and it's more than fast enough to act as a firewall at Ethernet speeds. If memory serves me, a lot of DSL modems provide an Ethernet interface.

You could try Siliconrax, who have a very nice version of a common, not-so-nasty case for about $175 + power supply. Or, if your budget stretches a little further, talk to Telenet Systems (www.tesys.com) about their 1U microservers.

I just asked the same question on -mobile. I have got an "Intel" "EtherExpress(TM) PRO/100 PC C" but I can't get more than about 1.3 MBytes/sec through it. It appears to be a driver/hardware issue: /* * Card interrupt handler: should return true if the interrupt was for us, in * case we are sharing our IRQ line with other devices (this will probably be * the case for multifunction cards). * * This function is probably more complicated than it needs to be, as it * attempts to deal with the case where multiple packets get sent between * interrupts. This is especially annoying when working out the collision * stats. Not sure whether this case ever really happens or not (maybe on a * slow/heavily loaded machine?) so it's probably best to leave this like it * is. * * Note that the crappy PIO used to get packets on and off the card means that * you will spend a lot of time in this routine -- I can get my P150 to spend * 90% of its time servicing interrupts if I really hammer the network. Could * fix this, but then you'd start dropping/losing packets. The moral of this * story? If you want good network performance _and_ some cycles left over to * get your work done, don't buy a Xircom card. Or convince them to tell me * how to do memory-mapped I/O :) */ and /* * Now get the packet, including the Ethernet header and trailer (?) * We use programmed I/O, because we don't know how to do shared * memory with these cards. So yes, it's real slow, and heavy on * the interrupts (CPU on my P150 maxed out at ~950KBps incoming). */ Since it is named EtherExpress I thought it would be a good deal :-( -Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hardware" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-hardware Wed Sep 8 10: 4: 4 1999 Delivered-To: freebsd-hardware@freebsd.org Received: from longacre.demon.co.uk (longacre.demon.co.uk [158.152.156.24]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id AEDB315C2E for ; Wed, 8 Sep 1999 10:03:33 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from searle@longacre.demon.co.uk) Received: (from searle@localhost) by longacre.demon.co.uk (8.9.3/8.9.3) id QAA32788; Wed, 8 Sep 1999 16:02:13 +0100 (BST) (envelope-from searle) Message-ID: <19990908160213.11224@longacre.demon.co.uk> Date: Wed, 8 Sep 1999 16:02:13 +0100 From: Michael Searle To: Steve Kaczkowski , Mike Smith Cc: joe_pepin@ins.com, hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Re: Home Firewall reccomendations?

You'll need a supported SCSI controller. Does FreeBSD support the Reliance chipset used in NF5000? You seem to be the most knowledgeable about IBM PC servers. For what it's worth I think the NF5000 is better suited, it has two-channel AIC-7895 onboard which seems supported. No need for additional SCSI card.

It's hard to be sure, since IBM change the innards of the system = massively but leave the same label on the box.
