Yes, and even with the change you quoted removed, you would still wedge the card by doing sendfile() based transfers over that e1000 card under load. That change just made an existing problem with the e1000 card and/or driver more apparent. There is some bug in the e1000 card that causes it to wedge with TSO+SG packets, the driver should have a sufficient workaround but aparently not. Some e1000 experts need to look into this. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
