Hi,

Does anybody have 3C905 working normally with BSD/OS 2.1?  I can
config it to use with my system (at 10BaseT), but there should be
some problems.  Data is transfer unreasonably slow.  Only around 
6 Kbytes per second for a ftp session, while normally I can get 
more than 200 kbytes in a 10Mbps ethernet.  Remote dump or tar got 
packet lost.  From the data of netstat, the collision rate is not
high.  I have tried different setting of the link0/1/2 option but
doesn't help.  Anybody know about the fix/patch?

Thanks.
Keith Lau
