I was hoping for something more specific. My _first_ tests with the 3com vx 
driver for the 395 pci card on FreeBSD 2.2.1 are not showing good results - 
highest throughput for UDP 45Mbps. I should stress that these were first tests.

Has anyone any traffic measurements for any of the fast ethernet drivers?


thanks,

Anne
