Hello Jason, > I just put updated patches at: > http://gtf.org/lunz/linux/net/ Thanks for that. > There are backports of the 4.4.19-k3 driver from 2.5.65 to both 2.4.20 > and 2.4.21-pre5. I've only used the one for 2.4.20 myself, but they > should both work. But unfortunately it doesn't help a lot. I see a lot of packet drops/errors/overruns at the network card level (ifconfig reports so). No such issues with tg3 though. The e1000 cards use plenty of %system time, I guess they starve the CPUs, OTOH the CPUs aren't that busy while using tg3 cards. I even tried with RxDescriptors 2048 and 4096 with same results. > please post your results, good or bad. Not very good I am afraid.
