I get really slow xfers from two machine in the same, quite, LAN (both running FBSD 5.4 with good Intell Pro100 NICS). Im not sure if DMA is enabled or not so I'd like to start with figuring out what to use to view this info. Anything like hdparm? I did a apropos on `dma` but didn't find what I'm looking for. thx
