Mine was checked out at the latest was 2.6.11 rc3.

That looks ok though (Well it would be good enough for my application).

Yours is using ~30% cpu to send 100Mbps.
Mine is using 100% to send 66Mbps.

I've just checked out and  merged the latest CVS.
There were a few compile problems but I'll iron them out today and see  
if that solves the problem. It is encouraging that someone has this
working though.

Thanks again
