I am also curious about their relative performance. All I have ever used in my 8240/Sandpoint is the RTL8139 PCI card. I made a couple of minor changes for byte swapping problems and sent it to the author a long time ago. I can't speak to the performance, as I didn't really do any performance testing, but it seemed OK. It's a PCI master device in what has become a generic Ethernet world, so it should work as well as anything else. -- Dan ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
