I'm running tcpdump on my Mac and I noted a lot of 'bad checksums'

hardware checksumming and I wonder whether or not the chipset that I
have is affected by this issue as well.
I'll provide my chipset/model info in my next reply (can't access it
from this PC).

Got a wee bit busy there.
Anyhow, here's the chipset info (snippet) reported from dmesg:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]: ~]$ ssh -C optimus "dmesg | grep msk"
Password:
mskc0: <Marvell Yukon 88E8056 Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xd800-0xd8ff mem
0xfe9fc000-0xfe9fffff irq 17 at device 0.0 on pci2
msk0: <Marvell Technology Group Ltd. Yukon EC Ultra Id 0xb4 Rev 0x02>
on mskc0
msk0: Ethernet address: 00:1b:fc:45:9b:5c
miibus0: <MII bus> on msk0

The issue indeed is with the msk(4) driver in FreeBSD.
I just plugged in an em(4) compatible card, powered it up and now my
server works like a champ with the XP machine.
As a reference the MB's affected by this are mostly the ASUS MB's, i.e.
P5B and P5K series ones. MSI MB's may be affected by this issue as well
because I think they come with msk(4) compatible chipsets onboard..
