Hi,

I have a walnut board from IBM and I just upgraded from kernel version
2.4.0-test2 that comes on the Hard Hat Linux CD to 2.4.2-mvista_010303.
I'm getting between 50% and 100% better network performance, as measured
by netperf, now.  This is a good thing :).  Can somebody tell me why?
Or give me a pointer to kernel differences?

Thanks,
Jim

Different driver that actually handles multiple packets.  I just
found out about it yesterday and I'll include the patch in the
FSM Labs source trees.
