The problems were only when coupled with VLAN tagging. I'm not sure if the 5701 was succeptible to the problem, or not. The patches disabled hardware checksumming. To fix the problem on the card would require changes to the card firmware, at least (hardware assisted checksum, subtracting out the VLAN encapsulation incrementally; assumes that hardware can run a partial checksum, and it's not tied to the buffer shift registers directly). If you aren't using VLAN tagging, you shouldn't care. -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
