Is this behavior new to 2.4.22-pre?

82543 = PCI, not PCI-X.  Are you in a 64-bit slot?  Get ethtool 1.8 and
run ethtool -d eth<x> to see PCI type/width/speed.

Back to your original note: you say it's weird; what's your expectation?

You're running PCI 64-bit/66Mhz.  (ethtool 1.8 will tell you that by
decoding the STATUS bits ;-).

I thought maybe you were running at 32/33.

Hi.

I think I am getting weird performace with e1000 in 2.4.22-pre.
NetPipe gives this numbers for e1000:

No modules parameters for e1000 (default behaviour), no mtu changes, nothing.

Any ideas to up performance ?

TIA
