 I finnaly got another such quad (same model as the first one according to =
dmesg&pcictl).
 And this one works like a charm: I got 3MB/s via scp and 8MB/s via ftp.

 So NetBSD was not faulty :-)
 Still I don't understand why the first card don't work on NetBSD but is OK=
 on Solaris...
 Same model, same revision...
