Hi,
I have a couple of PCI network cards with the Realtek 8029 chip.
(a no-name and a Genuis)

Both these cards give 1000k / sec on all of my FreeBSD machines except
my new one.

My new PII400 (BX chipset) gives just 200k / second on our lab network.
Perfect test conditions - no other network traffic.
New PC has 128 Megs of RAM, tried both AGP and PCI video card and runs
SNAP1998-0804.

Any ideas what is going on?

bye
