I don't know if this is the same problem or not, but I had a problem where because my 3c509B was set to the wrong IRQ, connections were still possible (?? why ??) but were
very very slow, around the levels that you are describing.

Try using the 3c509 configuration program (I think it was 3c509cfg.exe or something like that) to verify that the card and FreeBSD agree on what the IRQ and memory address
should be for the card.

Hope this helps,
Brian 








                       I hope anyone can help me out with this one.

            I have an ethernet link to a cable modem with a 3com 3c509 card.
          Under (blasted) windoze NT 4.0 workstation (service pack 3) all works
                                       really fine.
                 I can get speeds up to 150 k/s tops and 30 k/s average.

          I installed FreeBSD version 2.2.6 (and a little later 2.2.7, but now
         back to 2.2.6 again due to shared-with-friend CDROM reasons, with 2.2.7
                                      same problem)
          configured the network exactly like the NT configuration (ip, gateway,
           dns, hostname etc.), but connection speeds are EXTREMELY slow. Just
                          starting at about 300 b/s (yes BYTES /
             second) rapidly dropping down to 100, 60, 20, STALLED (using the
                                         netscape
                                 communicator 4.04 port).
          ping doesn't work at all, all packages are lost, and traceroute gives
         hop times of over 1900 ms. DNS lookup does work and i get some packages
            back when doing tcp traffic but the speed drops dead very quickly.
         I bought the crab (TCP/IP network administration) book from O'Reilly's,
            after digging through Greg Lehey's really great and comprehensive
                                         Complete
         FreeBSD. I tried hard to figure out what is wrong, but i can't sort it
          out. I would really like to jumpstart with the internet so i can learn
                                           the
                      marvelous world of UNIX at much greater speed.

           If anyone can help me with this i would really jump in the air with
                                          joy:)

           If more configuration stuff is needed to give a solution, i would be
                             more than happy to provide this.

                                        thnx Lasse
