So I have an SMC 8040TX pccard in an IBM Thinkpad 701CS. It is currently using the ed driver to talk on the network and this driver works ok (I can get 5+ Mb/sec outbound), but the performance problem is that I only get < 1Mb/sec inbound. So I have two questions, 1) is the ed driver the correct driver for this card, or should I be using the sn driver (which works for the SMC 8020 combo card) and 2) how would I get 100Mb/sec, since my understanding is that the ed driver only supports 10Mb/sec?
