r10 looks good, but r11 looks real bad. If it is a driver issue
see if there are some settings you can tweak in the driver, or update
it, or make sure it is using the right one. You could try a line like
"ifconfig_r11 media 100baseTX mediaopt full-duplex" in the rc.conf
file. I don't know if this will work, I got it from
http://www.geocrawler.com/archives/3/154/2002/4/0/8532322/ which says
put it in rc.network? I don't see rc.network on my machince.
By the way most network products rate speed in bits/sec, not
bytes/sec which I see a lot of apps use to rate connection or dl speed.
So it look like r11 is at 10mbits/sec = 1.25mbytes/sec. Like Alex said
samba is slow, so try another protocal. To test it try installing some
network testing software from ports to test your network speed, or check
pcpitstop.com for an internet speed test. You can check the man pages
like $man rc.conf, or check the default configs on your hard drive.
Finnally I would like to say that the mtu value can have a big impact on
speed. On win98 the default is really small for dailup, or something
like that, so something I do to get a good speed boost is up the size of
the mtu. Check http://cable-dsl.home.att.net/ for details.
