Well, rampant speculation might place the blame on your cards, or perhaps
an outdated driver, I know David has spent a lot of time on some of
the network drivers, better performance is likely.

I regularly get 400+k/sec out of my cheapo DEC DEPCA card on a 386-20sx
with FreeBSD, and I don't think there are enough significant differences
between NetBSD 0.8 and FreeBSD for it to be attributable to the OS.
