Yes :)

md5sum are ok.
I can't reproduce the problem on wire with a switch ( using both
10 and 100Mbp FD )

Sorry, I forgot to precise the network hardware.
I forgot a noname 100Mbp switch between the isv box and sg host.

SG:

00:0a.0 Ethernet controller: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd.
RTL-8139/8139C/8139C+ (rev 10)
using module 8139cp

Devel:

02:02.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4306 802.11b/g
Wireless LAN Controller (rev 03)
using b43 driver.

02:08.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82801DB PRO/100 VE (MOB)
Ethernet Controller (rev 81)
using e100 in kernel ( no module )

My isv box is broadcom based, but I don't know which chipset for
wireless.

Since our hardware are different, I don't think it's coming from
hardware driver. I'm preparing traces for Ilpo
