I've been using the SMC 8040TX in a sony vaio pg505-tx with pretty good
luck; although yes, I have had to use the ed driver, which is pretty
mediocre. all attempts on my part to use other drivers that I thought should
work did not, and I've just been running with the ed driver. that being
said, I just do a lot of router configs, so I'm not really in a big
bandwidth needing market :)
I'd be interested to know if others have had success with other drivers too.

Subject: Anyone using SMC 8040TX pccard?
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?
TIA
- JimP
