After having upgraded to NetBSD 4.0, from a mix of 3.1 kernel and
2.x userland, I now have a trusty PowerBook 3500 running fairly
smoothly...
I do however have a performance problem with the Belkin network
PCCARD, which is Accton based...
(Besides I am using the lower of the two PCCARD slots, as I believe
it is the only one that is useable...)
and from dmesg:
rtk0 at cardbus0 function 0: Accton MPX 5030/5038 10/100BaseTX
rtk0: Ethernet address 00:30:bd:11:51:85

and doing a ftp transfer:

and the ifconfig.rtk0
cat /etc/ifconfig.rtk0
# x.x.x.3 netmask 0xffffff00 media 100baseTX-FDX
x.x.x.3 netmask 0xffffff00
(have tried both the 100BaseTX-FDX and (now) with auto.... nothing
very different performance wise...)
Network load is next to nothing.....
I would expect somewhat more throughput.....
