Does anyone have any information on the speed of VxWorks in
getting information off and on the Ethernet?

I am using a Motorolla 147 card (with a 68030), but
trials show that the speed of data transfer using sockets is
about 2Mbit/sec.  Is this to be expected?  Has anyone rewritten
the driver to make it faster?  I need low-level access to ethernet
packets, as the device is part of a network bridge. Any information
on the driver or people's experience with the ethernet and VxWorks
would be useful.

        Thanks in advance.
