Ultra ATA card doesn't seem to provide Ultra speeds.

[Paul JURCO]

for me works just fine:
atapci0: <SiI 0680 ATA133 controller> port
0xf400-0xf40f,0xf000-0xf003,0xe800-0xe807,0xe400-0xe403,0xe000-0xe007 mem
0xfedff800-0xfedff8ff irq 11 at device 17.0 on pci0
with:
ad0: 19073MB <Maxtor 2B020H1> [38752/16/63] at ata2-master UDMA100
on: FreeBSD 4.8-STABLE
CPU: Pentium/P55C (166.19-MHz 586-class CPU)
  Origin = "GenuineIntel"  Id = 0x543  Stepping = 3
  Features=0x8003bf<FPU,VME,DE,PSE,TSC,MSR,MCE,CX8,APIC,MMX>
real memory  = 134217728 (131072K bytes)
avail memory = 127156224 (124176K bytes)
Programming 16 pins in IOAPIC #0
EISA INTCONTROL = 00001e00
IOAPIC #0 intpin 2 -> irq 0
FreeBSD/SMP: Multiprocessor motherboard
 cpu0 (BSP): apic id:  0, version: 0x00030010, at 0xfee00000
 cpu1 (AP):  apic id:  1, version: 0x00030010, at 0xfee00000
 io0 (APIC): apic id:  2, version: 0x000f0011, at 0xfec00000
now my networks speed is 4-5 mb/sec (old speed it was 700-800 kb/sec)
