I have found on my system that the NE1000 card is very slow when
moving data to bsd, it's fine when sending. This is true for both
NFS and FTP , I get about 80k/second transmitting from bsd and about
3k/second or less to bsd. 
Does anyone else have experience using a NE1000 to say if it's just something
peculiar to my system or even hopefully a solution to speeding it up.
Thanks .
