we will test the patch today. thanks for your work.
btw, we had an very interesting error with rl cards which we first thought
this was related to the bug but then have to learn that there are far more
possibilities. on an MSI motherboard we had 3 rl cards installed. it was
possible to dump about 110 GB over the wire without any error. but after
that when users (samba, http proxy ...) worked) the machine slowed down
heavily, writing packet oversized errors on the console.we changed the cards
against 3Com nics and 2 of them simply was dead. investigation further
showed, that the pci slots on this motherboard are shared and also with acpi
and different interrupts the rl´s brought the error and the 3Coms was dead.
after changing the motherboard to another brand everything (with both cards)
worked fine.

Please let me
know either way with information about the chipset on your NIC.
Thanks!
PR kern/61448 might apply to you. Can you try the diff
offered there and
follow-up with your findings?
Finally found some time to look at the issue. The patch
there was good, but
needed some tweaking. Everybody (having problems) with rl
should check this
patch - please. I plan to commit it soon, so please scream
if it breaks
things for you.
Karl, can you verify that this patch solves the issue as well
(i.e. can you
backout the one I send you earlier?) - Thanks!
