Networking in itself was fine and stable, and with seemingly much better performance in large file transfers as well. The system log shows the occasional "APIC error on CPU0" that didn't seem to do any harm at all, except once where it then said it had disabled the PCI IRQ for the Realtek LAN chip. This is not seen on 2.6.18, and occurred only once with (I think) the original, unpatched r8169 driver from 2.6.21.5. With the patched driver, just the "APIC error" message appears with no device related information at all, so I can't really say whether this is anything to do with the Realtek LAN at all. NFS appeared to be working too, problem was just that workstation and server couldn't agree on file locking procedures anymore, and all existing files could only be read but not written to. This proved quite unproductive, so I had to revert. regards, Peter - 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
