I'm not. :P My DFE-530TX in windows to my friends Intel PRO/100+ Management adapter in windows gets 2.5MB/s. Pretty lousy for 100Mbps - but there's something strange going on with his cards, the most he can get to FreeBSD is 1.8MB/s. Not saying that it's necessarilly a FreeBSD problem. It could be Windows' fault. And it might not be due to drivers either. Guess one way to tell is to get both machines running FreeBSD, or both running Windows. I might try that real soon when i get the time. >I have since replaced my LinkSys in my FreeBSD box with a 3c905C, and my >problems have gone away, *but* I do get a hell of a lot of collisions from >Windows to FreeBSD now (which possibly means the NetGear card is crap, which >is in the Windows box). I only got my cards a few days ago. :P I'm not in a position to switch quite yet..
