Hm. Sounds like 10MBit.

tlp0 at pci0 dev 3 function 0: DECchip 21142 Ethernet, pass 1.1
tlp0: interrupting at dec 550 irq 0
tlp0: DEC , Ethernet address 00:00:f8:75:48:2b

no. The DECchip. Okay, not -52 and -53, but -42 and -43, as in 21142 and 21143.

It it's an DSL _MODEM_, can you really ping it? Usually, these devices are just
kind of media converters, which don't talk TCP/IP natively.

I'm doing a build-from-scratch of my most favorite packages from 2004Q4 on a
fresh built NetBSD 2.0, everything optimized for EV56. It seems to me, that
this BWX stuff really brings out a bit more performance. The box feels a bit
crispier.

Now i just have to replace the 2 TGAs for 2 more Gloria Synergy to have 3 24bit
screens :)
