Only 80Mb/s with a 10/100 card

2000-10-04 Thread Drew Parsons
Some time back there was a discussion on debian-laptop over what the actual throughput of the so-called "10/100" cards was, on a 100 Mbit network. The Xircom website addresses this question: "Q: What is the difference between the RealPort CardBus Ethernet 10/100 and the RealPort Ethernet 10/100?
