What cable modem do you have? I have a cable modem set up with a 2.2.7 box and have been running fine for a long time now! In fact, I first installed 2.2.5 on this box via ftp from ftp.freebsd.org over the cable connection. I routinely get transfer rates (ftp from well connected sites) of 300-600 kbps. Until recently I'd been running on a 3C509 card; I have a Bay Networks LANCity modem. Please email me if you have any questions.
