Really, a couple of invididuals have requested your hardware configuration and your kernel configuration. Additionally, it was pointed out that FreeBSD-2.1.0's 3c509 driver was buggy so why are you posting ?? I would have tried a different ethernet card or upgraded the driver or would have indicated an attempt to verify the settings on the 3c509 and ensure that the kernel has the apropiate settings. Go ahead Jeffrey smile , as someone stated they have seen 1000kb/sec on a 3c509 which means that you are at least 1/3 slower than on a properly configured FreeBSD. The only remaining question now is on which CPU or darn we don't know your hardware configuration. So in summary it looks to me like : Jeffrey still has "Very Slow Ethernet" 8) Amancio
