Dick Smith. Maybe decent was the qualifer......I think we pay $35 for D-Link. The only D-Link cards I've ever used are 530TX or something. They are not even close to what I call decent. What chipset do the ones you have use? Last time I shifted a file from the edit pc to the server (both on GbE) it took 6 minutes for 1.6 Gig. I wonder if I can get a GbE PC card for the laptop ? Ah.. this is why I say decent card. I expect a 100mbps card to run at 100mbps or very near to it. 1.6G in 6 minutes, that's 4.5 megabytes/s or so? Earlier this year I did some testing or various NICs and could sustain over 12 megabytes/s for several hours, even when this data came off a disk one one machine and onto a disk on another machine. is that using that RAW NIC to NIC option in the linux kernel? <<snipped>> --------- To unsubscribe from nznog, send email to majordomo(a)list.waikato.ac.nz where the body of your message reads: unsubscribe nznog
