Ah, so I got you wrong. I don't have any PCI card with a bridge on it so
I can't try that.  Joel - can you try the card in another box?=20

Hmm, I got ~5MB/s from mine, then the AIX box on the other end maxed out
( no duplex for some weird reason ). The hme would still do a bit more
I'm sure. ( after all a mere Netra X1 ( USIIe, only 256kB cache ) can
move ~9MB/s on each of its onboard NICs without breaking into sweat,
but that was Solaris 8 )
