Asking for networking hardware and AmigaOS devices for networking comparison

Well, the price is really great but I think I prefer a 10/100Mb one. Who knows maybe someone will be able writte a driver  to get more speed with one, even if not fullspeed....

AFAIK it's not the card, it's the bus.  The one in the A600/1200 is ancient, a Type 1 IIRC.  Aka "slow and crap".

It's the CPU, 060 is highly recommended for good performance with PCMCIA NICs.

With 060 I could reach 786KB/s (the other end was just silly P120 laptop). A friend could reach 819KB/s. Both with 10mbit cards.

These are real-world ftp transfer speeds, not some imaginary theoretical values.

Unfortunately I no longer have the Amiga built up, so I can't test my 100mbit PCMCIA NIC in real 100mbit network. I wouldn't expect much over 1MB/s speed, however.
