I bought two of the cards in order to decide whether or not I wanted to use them in my research group's PII cluster. Right now, they're plugged into a 233MHz Pentium Pro and a 400Mhz K6-2 (using an Aladdin V-based board). I did a bunch of NFS testing over the gigabit link last week and didn't

In reading your message I felt compelled to ask you a question. Are you using gb end-to-end? That probably isn't a good idea because in TCP the sequence numbers can wrap within timeout periods and the data stream become undetectably (from a TCP perspective) corrupt. -- Dennis Glatting Copyright

There should be a more general mechanism for this. I have the same problem with the USB stuff. 100+ people on the usb-bsd mailing list and only answers to directed questions. What about, like 'HEADS-UP', a 'FEEDBACK: drivername' message that should invite people to send 'it works' messages. And

You didn't read what I said. I don't have a gigabit ethernet switch. I only have cards. Therefore the *only* way I can test the operation of the driver and adapters is to connect two machines with gigabit cards back to back with a patch cable. This automatically implies 'using gb

IMO that's a good thing, because for some reason, the RFC 1323 extensions break a lot of older terminal servers. One could argue that it's more accurate to state that the terminal servers break RFC1323, but alas the effect is the same. DS To Unsubscribe: send mail to
