[Avila] Too many ethernet interrupts on Gateworks board

[Tim Harvey]

63mps is using turbo mode, so you can compare that to 108mbps in the 'dream=
-world'.=0A=0Awithout turbo, I get about 30mbps (the bottleneck is not the =
Avila board at that point - just overhead in 802.11 I would assume).  Both =
these numbers are using madwifi's wds-repeater mode and not necessarily the=
 madwifi or other components on the GW BSP (they are outdated but that's no=
t saying they are better/worse).  The only HW comparison I've done is again=
st a WRAP board with Microtik which maxed out at about 25mbps for non-turbo=
 and 40mbps for turbo.=0A=0ATim=0A=0A=0A----- Original Message ----=0AFrom:=
