Does anyone have any experience with the Broadcom BCM5701 card? I am trying to setup DRBD to create a replicated partition between two servers using a crossover cable between the two servers. When I look at the SynchAll speeds, I am not seeing the speeds go above 13 or 14 megabytes per seconds. I have even installed bing, and it shows that the average bandwith to be about 104 megabits per second, which is approximatly 13 megabytes per second or so. Is this the fastest that this card could run?? I had thought that by using Gigabit speeds (1000) and Full Duplex, I might be able to achieve speeds of over 60 megabytes per second. Can this be done? -- +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | Lee Leahu | voice -> 708-444-2690 | | Internet Technology Specialist | fax -> 708-444-2697 | | RICIS, Inc. | email -> lee@ricis.com | +----------------------------------+---------------------------------+ | PGP Public Key: http://www.dyweni.com/index2.php?page=gpg | +--------------------------------------------------------------------+ | I cannot conceive that anybody will require multiplications at the | | rate of 40,000 or even 4,000 per hour ... | | -- F.
