Hi Johan. Did you raise the mtu? Because this is what I'm trying to do to try and improve transfer rates. The mtu used to increase the performance of my card when I used to use winblows. I already notice a speed difference under Linux, I just want to try and max it out that's all. ----- Original Message ----- From: Johan Bergstr?m <johbe@xxxxxxxx> To: <speakup at braille.uwo.ca> Sent: Tuesday, March 26, 2002 2:34 AM Subject: Re: mtu > On Mon, 25 Mar 2002, Igor Gueths wrote: > > > Hi.
