Hi guys,

I am a fresh guy with net5501. The BIOS version of my net5501 is 1.33c. I have 
created an ubuntu 8.04 system for my net5501 board, with this instruction:
http://wiki.soekris.info/Installing_Ubuntu_7.04_Server_via_debootstrap

My net5501 works with both transcend 8G 133x FlashCard and Westdigital 160GB 
sata hard-drive. However, the write performance in both cf-card and hard-drive 
is poor. I tried to use "wget" to do a simple performance test. The test 
content is:
Transfer Protocol: FTP
Transfer application: wget
The other monitor application: top
Transfer file information: a 1GB size file
Server setting: no speed limitation.

Test Result:
Transfer speed:
At very beginning 2-3 seconds, the speed is about 10MB/s, then, it just fall to 
1-2MB/s. And during this whole progress, the speed is not stable (from 900KB/s 
to 6MB/s), the average speed for this progress is about 1.6MB/s.
CPU Usage:
no more than 5% (get by "top")

At very beginning, I just used a trancend 8G 133x CF, and I considered that the 
poor performance come from the CF card. However, with the westdigital 160GB 
sata hard-disk, the performance is almost the same.  I guess there are some 
problem with my net5501 or my operating system.

Would you please help me to solve this issue. Thank you so much.

Regards,
Adonishong
