Re: Question: DFE-650 only 10 Mbit?

I have no additional information for you. With this card, I get about the same throughput you do. The card definitely does negotiate a 100baseT connection; a conventional NE2000 type card could not reach this speed on a 10baseT link. I had assumed that the card was doing some sort of internal throttling, since it could never keep up with a 100baseT link anyway. However, it is (as far as I know) not possible that you could get 6-8 mb/sec under windows with this card. The maximum transfer rate for the 16-bit PCMCIA bus is only about 2 mb/sec, and it is not possible to do better than that without going to a CardBus card. -- Dave

reinstalled 98, does really just ~1,3 mb/sec.. lesson learned, never believe anything you haven't tested yourself..damn. 1.) D-Link DFE-660TX and 2.) SURECOM EP-428X are both CardBus. do you know if they work smooth & fast, especially the 428X ? thanks, tma
