FWIW, on a 66 MHz 486 box, linux 2.4.0-test1, with a WD8013 board (ISA,
shared memory 8390 design), I get (netperf -t TCP_STREAM -H eising.k-net.dk
-l 300 -- -s 57344 -S 57344 -m 4096 -M 4096)
TCP STREAM TEST to eising.k-net.dk
Recv Send Send
Socket Socket Message Elapsed
Size Size Size Time Throughput
bytes bytes bytes secs. 10^6bits/sec
114688 65534 4096 300.03 8.94
(With the -c and -C options, I'd get the error message "recv_response:
partial response received: 0 bytes".)
If the difference is in the collision backoff algorithm, obvioulsy more
and much older chips than the 21143 must be using one that is different
from the normal one.
