I have just finished a driver for the FORE PCA200E which uses the same
NATM stack as the en driver. On a 900MHz Athlon it can send 135MBit/sec
with plain AAL5 (this is near to the theoretical maximum) and around
15kbyte/sec over TCP. The TCP sending code seems to be the limiting factor
in this case.

And well, its -current.

Drop me a note if you want to give a try...
