<metoo> I can't comment on gigabit performance but at Fast Ethernet speeds, I've found that fxp performs much better than dc, tl and tx NICs. I've had fairly bad experiences with bge under even moderate load (though the one in my laptop seems OK). </metoo> -- Peter Jeremy _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
