This is from the forcedeth.c /* * Optimization can be either throuput mode or cpu mode * * Throughput Mode: Every tx and rx packet will generate an interrupt. * CPU Mode: Interrupts are controlled by a timer. */ #define NV_OPTIMIZATION_MODE_THROUGHPUT 0 #define NV_OPTIMIZATION_MODE_CPU1 static int optimization_mode = NV_OPTIMIZATION_MODE_THROUGHPUT; By default it uses throuput mode, which is a int for every packet.

Put AMD64 server in production on corporation about with 4000 users
Hi! I'm thinking to put amd64 on all my production servers and migrate my services that are in 32 bits too, and i wanna know if you approve that or your recommendation is to leave all on 32 bits?

libsc8
Aimed at reinstalling mpqc 2.3.1 from scratch, I also wanted to reinstall required tk8.4 and libsc8 (although "apt-cache show" shows both installed and existing from The Scientific Computing Toolkit). No problem on reinstalling tk8.4, while: #apt-get --reinstall install libsc8 reported "not reinstalled because it cannot be downloaded" Is that libsc8 has first to be removed? Not attempted. All that because mpqc is unable to complete complex computations very similar to those that it was able to complete successfully before. I want to be sure that there is no corruption (which is not so easy - or speedy - to verify otherwise: with simple, speedy computations no problem arises).

I'm starting to debate ditching amd64 for i386 as much as I'd hate to to avoid all these problems (mplayer & codecs, flash in firefox, openoffice, wine, etc.). Use a font server like xfs. That way, the same fonts will be available to 32-bit and 64-bit software. Alternatively, install your font collection in the chroot too.
