I've spent the last 2 days on just this problem :/=0A=0A=0AI recently got a= bunch of dell 1950's and 2950's here which come with the Broadcom NetXtrem= e II BCM5708 1000Base-T.=0A=0AI am benchmarking with ab (apache bench/mark)= to test the speed of a=0Aphp file which calls a simple mysql query. When I= configure the php=0Afile to use the ip 127.0.0.1 to connect to mysql, it c= omes out to about=0A700requests/second. But when I point to its LAN ip 192.= 168.0.6, it=0Acomes out to 4 requests per second. Thats FOUR... The benchma= rk=0Aactually sits for a few extra seconds longer than it should as if it= =0Afroze.=0A=0A=0A=0AAfter tons of testing, im assuming its the network dri= ver.=0A=0A=0A=0AI've read on these lists that the ethernet card that comes = with the new Dell 1950 and=0A2950 was having problems (as well as the hard = drive controller on some=0Asetups) reporting stuff stuff like watchdog tim= eouts? I havent seen any=0Aof those though, I thought most of that was fixe= d around 6.2 Beta2... But I=0Astill am guessing this is the issue. I've upd= ated to the latest sources=0Alast night (Beta3) and it still didn't work. I= even went back to an=0Aolder? hack driver http://yogurt.org/FreeBSD/if_bce= .c to see if it would do anything, but I can't seem to fix it.=0A=0A=0A=0AS= o if anyone has any ideas on what the problem is or what to try or anything= ...it would help a lot... =0A=0A=0A
