It was my own stupidity. I've sorted things out, and am now running 2.6.1-bk1 with your patchset. With SMP enabled, I get a timeout from the watchdog and my network connection becomes unresponsive. In fact, during boot the DHCPC server times out looking for an IP address. I tried changing (boguscnt > 0) to (1 > 0) and this made no difference. Both of these tests were run with 1000 9014-byte packets. Even with SMP disabled, and even with the patches not applied, there seems = to be problems (this is on 2.6.1-bk1). Perhaps I just wasn't seeing them e= arlier. Basically, sometimes the packet generator completes normally the f= irst time. Sometimes, it does not. Either way, by the second run of the p= acket generator, the network device stops responding. I will try the most recent kernel and patch set, and see what problems I ge= t.
