why are you using a 2.2.16-22*smp* kernel on a P3-800 MHz ???

and why are you using a 2.2 series kernel on RH 7.1 ?

And why the buggy kernel ???

I had tried this with a friends laptop connected to my computer and we did
a nc on /dev/zero on one machine and redirected the output to the other
and monitored the traffic using "pload" we noticed around 98Mbps one way
and around 1Mbps on the reverse direction.

That would depend on the load on the subnet... I know of people who clog
up the bandwidth on a networks playing quake2 ;-)

But you should get the same performances that I got on two indivudual
machines... if they are the only only communicating.

BTW my test was done on a 2.4 series kernel. p3-733 and a Intel EEPro
100Mbps card.
