A1200 PCMCIA NIC card - netgear fa411

I recently acquired the DLink DFE-670TDX. Finally got it recognized in my A1200 once I discovered CardReset.

I have Cnet.device installed and I'm online with MiamiDx. What I am confused by is the optimal Cnet.device to be using. The docs say I should be using Cnet16.device if I have a 100Mbit capable card (which the Dlink is) but the moment I change the device in Miami, the whole system freezes. And then there is this Cnet16.device.tuboio which the docs say is for '020+ CPUs. Well, I have a 33MHz '030 so I think I would be covered there.

I understand not to expect anything close to 100Mbits (that was even true for faster machines with those adapters). I just want to be sure everything is optimal.

Once I get the Cnet.device squared away, I want t try out RoadShow. I know it is said to be faster than Miami.

Thanks for the info! I will stick with cnet.device. Probably a good idea to over to RoadShow asap. Miami keeps going offline unexpectedly. Hmmm...

Yes, that's right D-Link works with cnet.device, intead of cnet16.device. Don't know why it's like that.
The most important thing is that it works quite all right.Experiment with other drivers in the archive.

With Roadshow and 030 you can expect 400KB/s - 500KB/s with D-Link while copying over to RAM via AmiFTP.
Netgear Fa411 works with cnet16.device
I've observed that 100Mbit cards are around 10% - 15% faster with 020, 030, 040, 060 cards.
However, with Vampire 600 they are much more faster. Especially when you copy things over FTP to Vampire's RAM memory.
The difference is really dramatic then.
