question on re via cardbus/pcmcia interface.
On linux a re card combined with a 3com (xl), can route 94mb/s (both ways,
according to iperf).
On openbsd/freebsd the system can only route at 20-40mb/s max (again,
according to iperf).
This was running openbsd 4.6.
The system is a dell inspiron laptop and uses apm.

Is this expected behaviour ? ( i would hope that openbsd/freebsd could get
the same speeds as linux on this hardware, although i do acknowledge that
the re card is a considered to not perform well. )
