Ah ha! I thought I was the only one having problems with the de
driver. Performance just went right down the tubes running
100BaseT at Full-Duplex. However, after days of troubleshooting
why I was getting 6Kb a second across a X-over cable between two
machines, I ran it down to the Full-duplex operation. Apparently,
When half-duplex was enabled, performance was great...at
full-duplex...6kb a sec (even ftp stalls). FreeBSD 3.3-RELEASE
and 3.3-STABLE...same results on both.
Anyone else?
