Hello: Sorry for cross posting but this seems to be both a driver and network/kernel issue so I figure I actually thought all lists seemed appropriate. I'm investigating an issue we are seeing with 6.1-RELEASE and the bge driver dropping packets sporadically at 100MBps speed. The machine is a 2-

Dieter: Thanks, at 20Mbps! That's pretty aweful. JK: Thanks again. Wow, I searched the list and didn't see much discussion with respect to bge and packet loss! I will try the rest of that patch including pushing the TCP receive buffer up (though I don't think that's going to help in this case)

Hello All, I was looking at the code that creates a new process (fork) with a single thread coming out on the other side. I can't figure out a couple of things. 1. Why is the md_spinlock_count for the new thread set to 1 and not to 0. This happens in cpu_fork and cpu_set_upcall under t
