I suggest you should manuallu set your Ethernet card to the appropriate speed and duplex mode which synchronize with your router or switch of the LAN port . It may improve the performance in term of the speed . Kory Hamzeh wrote: >I just brought up a 4.3-RELEASE system and I'm getting very poor Ethernet >performance.
