I am using 2.1.5 and have installed the Tekram Which Tekram patches ? Do you use the Tekram driver that is available from their FTP server ? That driver completely disables the FreeBSD support for the 53c875 and adds a Tekram specific driver, that won't work with any other 53c875 card. (It might also be interesting to compare Bonnie results obtained under both, the FreeBSD NCR driver and the Tekram driver. The Tekram driver for FreeBSD uses some 875 features that are not yet activated by the generic NCR driver, but doesn't even come near the generic NCR driver's performance ...) > 390F patches and recompiled the kernel.

I hope to have the time in the week starting December 9th. I'll make patches available, and will apply them to the -stable CVS tree, if I get some success reports ... Regards, STefan
