ACKs are less important than data packets sure. But the drivers shouldn't be parsing packets at transmit time to decide what to do. And when this kind of thing fails, it's going to fail for all the packets currently queued up to the device for transmit. So it's likely not "just an ACK", but rather a set of several packets composed of ACKs and data packets. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
