Are those normal for ed0 and de0?  Compared to the ep0 nic of rate
of 1 (although the ep0 nic is not used as much as the other two nics
obviously).

Depends on what you mean by "normal". You'll get one interrupt per packet, and those rates are perfectly normal. If you're not transferring anything, you shouldn't be getting any interrupts.


These are actually a bit low in my experience for full-speed 100 Mbit/sec traffic... I'll go up to the 2000-3000 range at full 100 Mbit speeds.
