Hi,

Someone here on this list mentioned they see with their 3com 3c590 (or
similar) netcard + 2.0.34pre16, "panic: skput: over".

We just noticed we are getting this regularly too, when we initiated a
large transfer (RH 5.1 :-)

I was able to reproduce this with a ping -f and about ethernet frame sized
packets. Took the machine down in minutes/seconds.

For now we put a NE2000 cheapie card in the machine. It survived a few
ping floods but with appaling performace obviously. Bah well what do you
expect from a card costing ~15ukp. Well, certainly not greater reliability
than a 3com card costing several times as much, but that's about the story
of it at the moment.

Chris
