The RX is fine, on my 100mbit lan I get about 94 / 95mbit. But the TX is very poor: only 18-20mbit. This has been since all versions I've tested before, but of course hoped this one would make the difference. I've compared the results with a Linux domU PV, which does perform as expected (94-95mbit for both RX/TX). Joost
