I get quite respectable results using an rtl8139 with a mediator: up to 1.8MB/sec.  

Using the x-surf (which I imagine would be comparable to the Norway card), I get maximum of about 1.2MB/Sec

Edit: I don't think it makes any difference if you have a PPC or not.  I had a PPC until just two days ago.  Now I'm running on 68060 only and my network speeds are the same.

Keropi: just pluck an rtl8139D out of the trash somewhere, install it in your grexx, and set up devs:networks/rtl_8139.device to run at 100M full duplex.  with a cat5 crossover cable to a peesea you should be able to get 1.5MB/sec easily.  The peesea needs to be locked at 100M-FD, too.  Same with switches, hubs in between.
