Hi,

BCE-based cards looks good on paper, but it's firmware is of poor =20
quality compared to BGE-based cards.
The BCE-cards could sink 1.48Mpps, but it ftq drops 800Kpps, and the =20
host sees 600Kpps. TX is ~800Kpps (according to sephe).

That said, I'm using dot1q vlan trunks on both bce and bge based =20
cards, and it's working well.


Regards,


Daniel.
