Same situation, Windows <--> FreeBSD, same low speed from freebsd out - 500k/s. This is definately worth looking into. I had put it down to lousy drivers (pn and mx written by the same author - no offence), but now that's vr too, I'm beginning to doubt it. I have since replaced my LinkSys in my FreeBSD box with a 3c905C, and my problems have gone away, *but* I do get a hell of a lot of collisions from Windows to FreeBSD now (which possibly means the NetGear card is crap, which is in the Windows box). I am going to order another 3c905 for the Windows today, and see how I go. I will keep the FA310TX, however, as I am thinking of hacking up the driver. If you find any solutions/answers, please please please let me know :) Thanks Cliff. p.s. If this mail doesnt make it to the list, could you forward it for me? I am forever having trouble posting to it :) Thanks. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
