This is not quite true; I am running 2 systems with the sk driver. One of them is a dual core athlon64, and it's network connection is indeed flawed unless I change debug.mpsafenet to 0. The other machine is a regular athlon64 and has no problems at all. Both systems are running 6.1-PRERELEASE amd64. With debug.mpsafenet=1, cvsup failes with "protocol error"s on the SMP box. Also, I run several Half-Life: Counter-Strike servers on it and clients occasionaly receive corrupted UDP packets which cause them to drop the connection. However as soon as I changed debug.mpsafenet to 0, all problems were gone. So, maybe you should try changing debug.mpsafenet. FYI: the SMP box has an Asus A8V (agp) mobo, and the other box an Asus K8V SE.
