Hi

 I received my new cable connection having 50mbit today.

 But short after installation I noticed, I only get 10mbit through.

 So I started a debug session in which turned out the alix router running
 m0n0 v1.8.1 to be the bottle neck (the interfaces status shows 100baseTX
 <full-duplex>).

 Then I replaced the box with another identical alix hardware, having a
 CF card with m0n0 v1.34 installed. Tested again and then I get the
 50mbit through.

 Then I cross checked: I moved the CF card with m0n0 v1.34 to the alix
 box where I had only 10mbit before. I also get 50mbit now.

 This means somehow I only get 10mbit running m0n0 v1.8.1 on alix.

 Is anyone running m0n0 on alix v1.8.1 with > 10mbit?
 What may have caused this issue? Let me know if I can help debugging.
 
 Yes, I have m0n0wall v1.8.1 running on ALIX to w Comcast Business Class service. It have measured through put of 30.78 x 8.65 mbps. During the speed test the CPU graph never exceeds 30%.
 
Mine is a very simple installation. No complex rules or filtering going on.
