Performance should be equally bad under Windows 
DFE-650 not always Linux-compatible? (Anthony Jameson)
Try This (Jochen Friedrich)
bad performance with Jochen's patch and DFE-650 (Ingo Ciechowski)
Recheck your Windows performance. It is impossible to get anything approaching 100Mbit throughput from this card: it is a 16-bit card, and the 16-bit PCMCIA bus has a maximum throughput of 1.5-2 MB/sec. So unless D-Link has found a way to push 100Mbits of data through a 15Mbit pipe, I think your Windows performance numbers were incorrect? -- Dave |
