P.S. The traffic is actually leaving via the br0 interface, not specifically
eth2.

Thanks

I'm currently running a mixed bridge (10mbps and 100mbps).  They're
identical cards but one card is connected to a 10mbps switch.
My interfaces look like this:

eth0 - 100mbps
br0 (eth1 - 10 mbps, eth2 - 100mbps)

I've never had to push it very hard but recently noticed that traffic from a
third 100mbs network (in via eth0), out through the bridge on the 100mbps
interface (eth2), is much slower than expected.

My question is, does having one side of the bridge 10mbps limit the speed of
the 100mbps side also?  Or is my bottleneck somewhere else (I've got no
reason to believe so)?

Sounds great aslong as the 100mbps net's is not slowed down :).. To slow 
down the 10mbps part was the idee of my configuration.

Where can i find the information obout integrated firewall?
