Compared to the ep0 nic of rate of 1 (although the ep0 nic is not used as much as the other two nics obviously). Depends on what you mean by normal. You'll get one interrupt per packet, and those rates are perfectly normal. If you're not transferring anything, you shouldn't be getting any interrupts.

These are actually a bit low in my experience for full-speed 100 Mbit/sec traffic... I'll go up to the 2000-3000 range at full 100 Mbit speeds.

Just seeing the difference between ep0 and the other two made me a little confused. And seeing as ed0 and de0 are used about 100x more often than the ep0, those numbers seem about right then.
