This is usually symptomatic for a misconfigured 3com509 where the kernel does not receive the interrupts (and then it times out and sends a packet per second.) Under FreeBSD these cards have been known to achieve >1000 KB/s, *iff* correctly configured (i.e. PnP turned off, interrupts on the channel where the kernel expects them, no irq conflicts, that sort of things.) /Marino > > Thanks again. > >
