The NE2000 driver in FreeBSD is rock solid.

(sparc <-> another sparc seems to >be around a meg/sec). I have one here that I get about 650K/sec with between two FreeBSD machines. The Suns do weird things with the TCP window. Last time I looked at Linux, it did weird things, too. :-) -DG David Greenman Core-team/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project
