Well, this is not Hayim fault. It's in 2.6.18 as is. Unfortunately, the driver does not work very well. Transmitting frames hangs after a while (quickly to reproduce with ping -f -s40000). Any suggestions how we could this get working? The cards used work quite well in older systems despite all the driver bugs, but current systems with different timings expose them. -- Florian Weimer <fweimer <at> bfk.de> BFK edv-consulting GmbH http://www.bfk.de/ Durlacher Allee 47 tel: +49-721-96201-1 D-76131 Karlsruhe fax: +49-721-96201-99
