New I knew I was throwing you a bone
Enjoy it.

I forwarded your driver reccomendation
to my sysadmin. I'm sure he's capable.

Thanks.

New Update
BCM5700 driver was a bit better, but
not much. The default was the "community"
Tigon driver. The BCM5700 is the vendor
supplied one.

SysKonnect:
[link|http://www.syskonnect.com/|http://www.syskonnect.com/]
which rated higher than any card test
in a GB comparative review
[link|http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/performance/gig-over-copper.htm|http://www.syskonne...r-copper.htm]
(yeah, now on vendor site, but not where
I found it originally), sucked just as bad
for NFS writes.

Intel RULEZ.

New Good to know...
Ever since I actually experienced a REAL-WORLD test of 10/100 cards using the 825** shipsets from Intel and nearly ANYTHING else... I have been... stuck in Intel Gear for E-Net cards.

What I saw was, utilization *AND* throughput were on a relation ship similar to:

x = utilization, y = throughput/workdone

x:y2

I just fell in love... the cards (especially since the E10*+(e100+, e1000+, workstation and server classes) series came out) have never ceased to earn thier keep. I rarely find problems with them... if I do it is usually a bug in the module/driver supplied... and almost always NEWER E10*+ card and/or drivers == better/more stable performance.

Well, take it for what it is worth...
