3COM 3C589 PCMCIA Ethernet Cards

I heard a rumor that QSSL had problems with this particular card. I
have three of these (3C589C, 3C589D, and 3C589D-Combo), and they all
exibit very slow data rates compared to other 10Mbps cards (e.g.
3C562). Can I ask what problems QSSL had with this card?

Has anyone else had this experience with this card?

Jim

Couldn’t imagine that there were too many complaits yet as the
driver hasn’t been released for the RTP yet! :wink:

… are you referring to QNX 4 by chance?

Actually, I’m using it with LoseDoze on a PC to talk over ethernet to a
Neutrino based system. I was trying to figure out why I its so dang
slow. I heard that QSSL was having problems with the card (QNX4 or RTP I
don’t know), so I thought I’d ask.

Hi Jim,

There are no problems that we are aware of with these cards.
