Hi,

BCE-based cards looks good on paper, but it's firmware is of poor quality compared to BGE-based cards. The BCE-cards could sink 1.48Mpps, but it ftq drops 800Kpps, and the host sees 600Kpps. TX is ~800Kpps (according to sephe).

That said, I'm using dot1q vlan trunks on both bce and bge based cards, and it's working well.


Regards,


Daniel.

I'm using bge(4) and bce(4) interfaces (Broadcom GBit) and
fxp(4) ones (100 MBit) in enviroments with heavy use of VLANs.
They work very well.  There are no problems with the MTU.

Best regards
