We finally have a FreeBSD router set up. The configuration is a Dell P133 with 4 3c590's. The performace of this system is pretty dismal. Does anyone have any pointers on how to speed things up? OS is snap 03/23/96 chip0 <Intel 82437 (Triton) PCI cache memory controller> rev 2 on pci0:0 chip1 <Intel 82371 (Triton) PCI-ISA bridge> rev 2 on pci0:7 piix0 <Intel 82371 (Triton) Bus-master IDE controller> rev 2 on pci0:7 vx0 <3Com 3c590 EtherLink III PCI> rev 0 int a irq 9 on pci0:13 aui/bnc/utp[*BNC*] address 00:a0:24:56:41:19 Warning!

The warning about "early revision adapter!" seem ominous. These cards are straight from the vendor with revisions of "b" or "d" marked on each board. Thank, Ron
