Indeed. But perhaps the worst ethernet driver troublemaker needs revision
too. I of course refer to 3x59x.c. The version in pre2.0.32-2 is rock
solid here, but I see 0.42 "official" release has been made. I wonder if
anyone has any comments on the stability of this new version under load
for a period of several weeks?
