It sounds like there is a problem that is special to the Asus SP3G. The obvious thing to check for is the ISA bus speed being correct. As for the wd8013, with its shared memory design, it is the fastest ISA ethernet card that FreeBSD supports. The raw access speed to the shared memory should be about 4MB/second - plenty fast enough to keep up with 10Mbps ethernet. -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
