: then things that you selected aren't the issue. But if you do network : testing with a card that has a particularly bad LINUX driver and a : very good FreeBSD driver, then the test is only valid for that one : particular card. The Linux people could do the same test with a : very good Linux driver and a buggy FreeBSD driver and get : opposite results. So what have you shown? I think that any networking tests should be averaged over at least 10 cards to make it a fair test. Don't forget to include the 100MB ethernets, since those tend to show differences in speeds of IP bettern than the 10M ethernets do. Warner
