I tried on a different network (tftp a 18M file) - and it worked without issues while ping flooding... Until I filled up the max number of packets on the target (and it did start loosing things). "sudo ping -l 3 -f targetip" worked fine while transferring the file... "sudo ping -l 4 -f targetip" made things fall over - but this is a function of the ethernet driver, not anything else. (We pre-allocate 4 packets worth of info, and and only allow 4 packets to stack up). Even when there is no fragmentation - this causes it to fail.... So, I'll have to see what is going on with my network at home - so it could just be the network couldn't keep up... _______________________________________________ U-Boot mailing list U-Boot@lists.denx.de http://lists.denx.de/mailman/listinfo/u-boot
