Greetings all:
Does anyone have any recommendations for 32bit Cardbus 10/100 Fast
Ethernet NIC's that offers maximum performance? I'm using a ThinkPad 770Z
9549-8AU with FreeBSD. The 3Com 3CXFEM656C doesn't work correctly as it's
not routing the IRQ correctly so it keeps going xl0: watchdog timeout.
I've tried the LinkSys 16bit PCMCIA which runs under NE2000 emulation and
it does do 1080Kbytes/sec or 8.64Mbps. The NetGear FA411 16bit PCMCIA
running under NE2000 emulation as well does 300Kbytes/sec initially
(2.4Mbps) but then falls back to 80Kbytes/sec (0.64Mbps). The NetGear
FA511 32bit Cardbus isn't detected at all by FreeBSD. The
Siemens/Efficient Networks SpeedStream 32bit Cardbus works but the maximum
speed is 3.2Mbytes/sec or 25.6Mbps. It seems like it keeps saying tx
buffer underrun. Same with rx. Does anyone know anything that will
actually hit close to 100Mbps on a 10/100 Lan with 10/100 Cisco
2924XL Managed Switch? Thanks!
