>From http://www.syskonnect.com/syskonnect/performance/gig-over-copper.htm it seems they used SK9821 which is in the sk(4) man page as SK-9821 SK-NET GE-T single port, copper adapter and the second one SK9D21 is not listed in the sk(4) man page but their website describes it as -------------------------- Syskonnect SK9D21: The second card tested from Syskonnect was the SK9D21. The SK9D21 is aimed at the desktop/workstation market. While support for this card under Windows environments appears to be solid, there were too many technical issues. The testing environment's mix of kernel, motherboard, Athlon chipset, and Syskonnect drivers made for too many components to successfully debug the problems with this card thoroughly. This card is designed for a 64bit bus the card is backwards compatible with 32bit and 33Mhz configurations. While an exhaustive analysis of the cards was unavailable, it should be noted that the latency was successfully determined at .000123 seconds. --------------------------------------------------------------- > nontheless these test are completely irrelevant. this is not redhat > 7.3, and the driver has a great share in performance. > Thanks henning for the Info :-) kind regards Siju
