Beyond the man page, is there any further documentation for it somewhere ? I see for example a 'clearstats' command, but dont see a showstats? Also wondering about the built in firewall features of the card. How does it compare to using ipfw performance wise ? For high packet rates, am I better off using the card's features or ipfw ? rate limiting ? Some examples would be great!
