REALLY slow :P. > This is why I won't use 10/100 Intel cards. I've had numerous problems with them and my cisco cat 2924. They really don't seem to like talking to another auto-negotiating device. I end up having to manually set one side (or both) to get it to work. An unnecessary pain in the arse if you ask me. It's been a while since I tried, so maybe it was a driver issue and was fixed. For my money, the Kingston kne100tx's work fine, and the lne100tx's from Linksys do as well. No superlatives, they just work. jon To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
