Wow... that's a pretty broad question! Yes I have had very good performance with the 'recent' tulip cards: # lspci | grep DECchip 04:08.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 (rev 41) 04:09.0 Ethernet controller: Digital Equipment Corporation DECchip 21142/43 (rev 41) I have been able to tunnel about 186 Mbits/s on a P3Xeon/866 on any 2.4.{1,3} kernel with two of the above cards (tulip driver). Note that this means full duplex was on and the box was forwarding a total of 186 MBits of data fron one NIC to another; actually it was 93 in each direction. Fast routing (a la CONFIG_NET_FASTROUTE) was _not_ compiled into the kernel.
