Re: openBSD 3.8 firewall using 3com 3C509B nic speed problem

Comparing performance from the two machines you have is a waste of time
in a way, because there are many large variables and you seem to really
be focusing on very very specific details. Why not try Openbsd on the
other machine and linux on the one with problems and see if your
results stand. That would surely narrow the problem somewhat, or even
try the two cheap cards in the other PC. I have 3mb DSL with:

ext: ne3 at isapnp0 "UMC PLUG & PLAY Ethernet Chip , UMC9008,
PNP80D6, " port 0x240/32 irq 5 ne3: NE2000 Ethernet

int: 3Com 3c905C (pci)

speed is very fast / no problems though Monowall seemed somewhat more
responsive, but same throughput over kernel pppoe and generic 3.8

What about the ethernet device polling patch for openbsd?

Is it still available for openbsd 3.8? I can't find it anywhere. Could
it fix my problem?
