I tried netio, server on the homeserver and client on my Windows XP SP3 desktop machine, and was seeing 116MB/s. Must be a limit of Samba / FTP or disks.So long as I know it's *capable* of the full speed, I have nothing to worry about. I was just worried there was something wrong with the card or driver, or something.Thank you very much for the help :)
I heard putting "use sendfile = Yes" in smb.conf gives some nice speed boost on FreeBSD, you might want to try this on NetBSD, too
another interessting benchmark on netbsd-current would be samba with AIO enabled (though last time I checked the pkgsrc samba pkg, there was no compile time option for AIO, sadly)
