While trying to sort out some serial port issues with a VIA MB, I noticed that VIA actually supplies its own VT6102 ethernet drivers for FreeBSD (http://downloads.viaarena.com/drivers/LAN/VT6107_VT8231_VT8233_VT8235_VT8237v37MVIA.zip). Does anyone have any experience with this driver ? Is it more stable than the vr version ? vr0_at_pci0:18:0: class=0x020000 card=0x01021106 chip=0x30651106 rev=0x74 hdr=0x00 vendor = 'VIA Technologies Inc' device = 'VT6102 Rhine II PCI Fast Ethernet Controller' class = network subclass = ethernet vs fet0_at_pci0:18:0: class=0x020000 card=0x01021106 chip=0x30651106 rev=0x74 I ran netperf to and from the machine and the fet driver seems to perform a little better sending out, at least under RELENG_4. Any reason not to use the fet driver ? Netperf results are below. The first set of tests are against the via box and the second from the via box non-itx# ./snapshot_script 192.168.43.215 Netperf snapshot script started at Wed Aug 25 17:31:51 EDT 2004 Starting 56x4 TCP_STREAM tests at Wed Aug 25 17:32:25 EDT 2004 ------------------------------------ Testing with the following command line: /usr/local/netperf/netperf -t TCP_STREAM -l 60 -H 192.168.43.215 -i 10,3 -I 99,5 -- -s 57344 -S 57344 -m 4096 TCP STREAM TEST to 192.168.43.215 : +/-2.5% _at_ 99% conf. : histogram Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 57344 57344 4096 60.00 94.07 vr 57344 57344 4096 60.00 94.07 fet Starting 32x4 TCP_STREAM tests at Wed Aug 25 17:35:25 EDT 2004 ------------------------------------ Testing with the following command line: /usr/local/netperf/netperf -t TCP_STREAM -l 60 -H 192.168.43.215 -i 10,3 -I 99,5 -- -s 32768 -S 32768 -m 4096 TCP STREAM TEST to 192.168.43.215 : +/-2.5% _at_ 99% conf. : histogram Recv Send Send Socket Socket Message Elapsed Size Size Size Time Throughput bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec 32768 32768 4096 59.99 94.08 vr 32768 32768 4096 59.99 94.07 fet Starting 1,1 TCP_RR tests at Wed Aug 25 17:38:25 EDT 2004 ------------------------------------ Testing with the following command line: /usr/local/netperf/netperf -t TCP_RR -l 60 -H 192.168.43.215 -i 10,3 -I 99,5 -- -r 1,1 TCP REQUEST/RESPONSE TEST to 192.168.43.215 : +/-2.5% _at_ 99% conf. : histogram Local /Remote Socket Size Request Resp.
