Gemtek WLAN (conexant prism) and NDISulator problems

As there is no driver for this, I have been trying to use Windows XP drivers with if_ndis. I have managed to get if_ndis.ko built ok. When I

Thinking about the trace a little more, the Apple send buffer must be set much lower (about 18-19KB ballpark) than the FreeBSD recieve buffer (56 KB). If these settings were simular, the Apple machine should be providing more data as the FreeBSD gives the window updates - this would give the FreeB

dst-ip is not supported on one side of the switch. src-mac does not work too, due to the fact that this would lead to a biased result, causing most of the traffic goes thru the first link. dst-mac would not work as the machine is sending traffic to a single router. fxp0: 1.2.3.1/30 fxp1: 1.2.3.5/

Why can't you use dst-ip hashing? You are using /24 network for your client machines, no? If FEC uses IP addresses for hashing that you are ok. If it uses MAC addresses for hashing, you need to test something else. Regarding your initial post here is my proposal: fxp0: 1.2.3.1/30 fxp1: 1.2.3.5/3
