Woah!? I 've done some benchmarking and I'm getting on my Thinkpad 701C something like 700K/sec with my 3C589B. Basically I've done a huge FTP download of one big file (to eliminate costs of setting up and tearing down TCP connections) and the local file name isa symlink to /dev/null (eliminate costs of writing to the hard drive since both the hard drive and the pcmcia card are interrupt driven). Am I seeing spurious data or is this about right? Ben.
