Re: 100 Mbit Ethernet
I actually did this today... I replaced my old bnc/twisted pair SMC card
with a 10/100 Switchable SMC which has the 21040 DEC chipset on it (tulip
driver). We are using a 100 Mbit hub and have noticed a great deal speed
increase with it. It seems as if the only thing that slows me down are my
scsi harddrives when downloading large files!
They still use the same drivers for the corresponding chipsets. In my
case I didn't have to even recompile my kernel because the DEC 21040 and
the 21041 use the same driver. I hope you have the same success and
pleasure as I.
