Hi there!
Maybe this is a bit offtopic, I'm not sure whether this is SMP related
or not, but you people out there are much more "into" it, than anyone
else :-)
I'm a more or less proud owner of a Realtek 8029-NE2000-clone network
interface card (PCI). Under Windows 9x it shows good performance, but
with Linux 2.2.x (tested 2.2.10 and 2.2.11) the performance is very bad.
When I grab the current linux kernel from ftp.de.kernel.org I get
transfer rates of usually 80-90 KByte per second, with the PCI ne2k card
I get rates from 1 KByte or lower.
That's not very satisfying.
Within my own subnet things are looking better, but not that good as
expected (I usually get better results when using an inexpensive ISA NIC
(NE2000-clone) card).
As stated in the ne2k-pci.c File the driver is version pre-1.00e, so
perhaps there's still some performance tuning goin' on? So, Donald
Becker, Paul Gortmaker, are you listening here?
Hopefully someone can help?
Thanks in advance,
Frank
