NIC for VLAN

[Daniel Bond]

Hi,

BCE-based cards looks good on paper, but it's firmware is of poor  
quality compared to BGE-based cards.
The BCE-cards could sink 1.48Mpps, but it ftq drops 800Kpps, and the  
host sees 600Kpps. TX is ~800Kpps (according to sephe).

That said, I'm using dot1q vlan trunks on both bce and bge based  
cards, and it's working well.


Regards,


Daniel.
