Device: Netgear EA101 USB-to-Ethernet adapter. It's known to work with FreeBSD; for $9 new, how could I go wrong?
A Windows notebook was available for the first test (Windows 98, AMD K6-2 333). Getting a file from a FreeBSD FTP server, it managed 875K/sec. On a similar notebook (Toshiba PII-300) running FreeBSD 4.6-Stable, getting the same file from the same server, the best it could do was 273K/sec. Maybe just a difference in the machines? The Windows version may use 100% CPU. 8-) Is there something that can be tuned for the kue driver? There aren't any media options; it's half-duplex, 10BaseT. (Incidentally, this unit isn't much larger than the standard Ethernet "dongle" cable. Yet you don't have to fight with PCCard interrupts or lose a PCCard slot.) -Warren Block * Rapid City, South Dakota USA To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
