My wallstreet/300 has a similar, possibly related problem. any FTP transfer originating from my powerbook in Linux (under any client or server) has a max transfer under 100k. This is a BMAC driver problem. my brother's lombard (BMAC+) seems to have no problem. The big thing to notice is that in my case, the traffic is colliding... with itself. Duplex problem? (BMAC+ can, BMAC cant).. but since we're not on a switched hub, that doesn't make much sense. MacOS has no problems with my ethernet card; incoming FTP transfers work normal; and i double checked with an FTP to myself (using lo), and it went fast. So i deduce this is a problem in someway connected to the hardware driver. I have tested one theory. In bmac.c, there is a delay called MIFDELAY that in 2.2.1 was 500, and now is 10. I tried putting it back to make sure it wasn't tripping on itself with that, but there was no improvement. Other ideas? -- Joseph P.
