Have there been any new drivers written for the 3c905 (and/or 3c905b) cards from 3com since 3.0-RELEASE was released? I've been doing some tests, and using exactly the same NIC in a Linux box, I get 4.8 megs/second (roughly), and by placing the same card in a FreeBSD box, I'm getting only 1.3. (using the xl0 driver). I've tried several combinations of the 905's, including boomerangs (3c905, a and b revisions) and cyclones (3c905b, a b and c revisions), all with the same end result (aside that some combinations don't auto-neg with each other well). I'm thinking of just going with an Intel card and scrapping 3com altogether, especially since only the old 3c905's auto-neg properly with our Cisco switch here in the office. Before I grab an Intel card, are they stable, and more importantly, can I get more than 1.3 megs per second out of them? ;) TIA, J. -- ----------------------------------------------------------- EleComm Corporation - http://www.elecomm.net ----------------------------------------------------------- Jordan Krushen Security & systems development jordan@elecomm.net ----------------------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
