Hi all, I just put together a 2.6.18 image on an older Bosporus board (400MHz au1500) and I am a bit disappointed with the networking performance. The few stats I have seen suggest that it should easily be doing 100Mbps of networking throughput, but I am seeing less than 60Mbps using either the onboard NIC's or a dual Intel e1000. I am running a fairly stock 2.6.18 compiled with mipsel-linux-gcc version 3.4.6. Full netfilter firewall setup doing a through box (all kernel mode) test. The original BSP came with 2.4.21 and gcc 3.2.1 (mips_fp_le-gcc?) if that is significant. Linux reports CPU of 396MHz, CPUPLL and POWERCTRL registers are set for full speed and the RAM is running at the right speed (checked with an analyser). I expected the board to perform much better and figured something obvious must be wrong. Hopefully someone who knows these boards better has some ideas :-) Thanks, Davidm -- David McCullough, david_mccullough@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, Ph:+61 734352815 Secure Computing - SnapGear http://www.uCdot.org http://www.cyberguard.com
