Hello, 

     I have 3.4 stable with PAO3 running on a laptop with IBM Credit Card
Ethernet II PCMCIA working. I'm able to set an IP address, and also ping some
hosts on the lan, but when I do a file transfer ( ftp), the speed obtained is
about 40 Kbytes/sec, while the same machine, with the same PCMCIA card is able
to transmit at at least 10 times that speed on Win9X ( i.e., over 400
Kbytes/sec).

     I was reading the FAQ for PAO, and archives for this mailing list, but
couldn't find anything about this problem. 

     A final comment: on the PAO documentation, it says this card should work
with ep0 driver, but on my laptop it is working with ze0 driver, 0x300 and IRQ
10. I tried to change to ep0 driver, but with that driver I was unable to put
the card to work. I also changed the IRQ to some other values ( using ze0),
obtaining the same poor performance.
 
     Any suggestions?

Thank you in advance.

Charly

p.d.: I'm running 3.4 stable with PAO3 because I was unable to put this card
to work on 4.0 stable, and there is no PAO for 4.0, so I had to downgrade to
3.4...should this card be supported in 4.0 stable? If the answer is YES, any
link to documentation about how to configure this to work on 4.0 stable?
