Glad to hear that.

I have strong evidence that the vge(4) can't saturate the link for
any frame size. I still have no idea why it shows poor TX
performance(about 650Mbps) compared to RX(about 930Mbps). The best
performance number I can get from my local patch was about 800Mbps
which is still very lower than any other gigabit controllers. I'm
working on it with various scenarios but I couldn't find clue.
