Huh... Nothing appears when you issue 'dmesg' ?

Hi,
The r8169 driver seems not to be able to handle high loads?
On a dual Athlon 2600+ MP with 2GB RAM, and nothing else running.
I'm doing:
nc -l -p 12345|buffer|cpio -iuvmdB
On the other machine, also with a gigabit card, I'm doing:
find .|cpio -o -Hnewc -B|nc 192.168.111.1
