What do you see with autoselect? What are the full dmesg messages for your card (including phy). What vendor and product is your card? Does the card have BNC connectors? > If I run in 10 Full, same thing, but in 10 half, throughput goes up to the > 700-850k/sec > ranges. This is on a 'dc0' interface.

Both sides must be configured identic, but sometimes there can be problems with dc cards in getting specific phys in the correct mode. > The man pages (4) on dc reference problems on either 100 modes.

An AS4100 should easily get almost wire speed from a properly working dc card. -- B.Walter BWCT http://www.bwct.de bernd@bwct.de info@bwct.de
