Hello, Jesse Brandeburg.
On 06.04.2006 04:42 you said the following:
I built and tested the driver with patches on 2.6.16, with pci-x adapters.
I removed some workarounds for PCIe adapters, but I dont think anyone
having this problem has a PCIe adapter anyway. I saw no TX hangs and ran
some bi-directional tests, so i think the driver should work okay. Just
warning you I did minimal testing.

e1000: transmit the old fashioned way
It seems back in the day of 2.6.11, there were no sk_forward_alloc
asserions. Forward port that transmit code to see if it fixes the issues
in today's kernel. Unfortunately it doesn't have all the bug fixes that
the current code has, but if we get transmit timeouts we can add in
workarounds appropriately.
this changes only the e1000_tso function
With this one still having:
TCP: Treason uncloaked! Peer 80.72.16.78:11460/80 shrinks window
2223569515:2223569516. Repaired.

e1000: implement old xmit_frame
It seems back in the day of 2.6.11, there were no sk_forward_alloc
asserions. Forward port that transmit code to see if it fixes the issues

workarounds appropriately.
this changes the e1000_xmit_frame function, and some ancilliaries
