Dear Sir/Madam I recently installed FreeBSD on a 486DX2 with a NE2000 compatible ethernet card. The computer had functioned correctly under linux, but under FreeBSD the network access is unbearably slow. The netword interface ed1 appears correctly on bootup, and looks fine after an ifconfig, although it has the SIMPLEX flag set (is that ok?). During bootp, it virtually hangs when asked to invoke routed, and all subsequent net operations are painfully slow! I have recompiled the kernel to only use the devices in the computer and to optimise the settings, but it works no better than when under GENERIC! in this regard, so the problem lies elsewhere I presume? If you have any ideas, they'd be gratefully received! Thanks Adam. ------------------------------------------------------ Adam Sandman Tel: +1 617-876-2302 (home) 516 Green Street #3A +1 508-741-5300 (work) Cambridge MA 02139 http://users.ox.ac.uk/~sjoh0018 ------------------------------------------------------ "You do what you do best, not what it's best to do..."
