I tried the patch. Unfortunately it seems that it didn't correct the
problem for me. I still have a big collision rate, bringing down my entire
network.
BTW, the 2.2.13pre1 patch is from Alan Cox? Can I apply this patch using
the patch-kernel script? I put it in the script directory, renamed to
patch-2.2.13 and ran patch-kernel. Is this correct? It seems that it
applied the patch :-|
