Hello, Well, perhaps it's my assumption, but I thought that the SIMPLEX message on the ed0 driver from ifconfig means half-duplex. Am I wrong here?
I assume the hardware is set to half-duplex because in windows it was when I switched the driver from full to half-duplex that I got a big performance jump. I don't know who I would set one or the other either. the ed(4) manpage talks about flags to set 8/16bit modes, transmit multibuffering, and using AUI as default. Thanks, Mark V.
