Hello,

I just tried with Q6 and the network behaviour seems odd :
- my ssh connection freezes a bit,
- communication between the two PCs sharing the GigE connection is difficult to start :


please try the -Q9 patch i just released, and if you still see any
problems does the following:

echo 300 > /proc/sys/net/core/netdev_backlog_granularity

help?

Q9 just crashed after showing the login prompt. It says there is a kernel bug in netdevice.h at line 874

The backtrace is :
finegrained_poll
net_rx_action
___do_soft_irq
_do_soft_irq
ksoftirqd
kthread
ksoftirqd
kthread
kernel_thread_helper

I have the following modules :
e1000
i2c_isa
i2c_sensor
w83627hf
asus_acpi
