the Ierrs are only on some bge chips (BCM5704C is the most common one), but it does totally suck if you try and run OSPF on them. there's a diff in kernel/5699 for that problem. I see 240Mb/s on a single ftp transfer from my file server (BCM5704C) if I bump socket buffers up to 256KB. > You can confirm this by booting $other_os_boot_cd and retesting. iperf doesn't work very well on OpenBSD (threads). configure the OpenBSD box as a router and pass packets through it from some other OS as a source, or use some other software.
