Hi all, I've identified you as people who have at some point in the past emailed one of the Linux lists with problems with e1000 and sk_forward_alloc. It seems to be fairly widespread, but only seems to have appeared with recent kernel changes (after 2.6.12...) What I need from you is a reproducible test, and some information. I have never been able to reproduce this, and I'm trying to isolate the problem a bit. What motherboards are you using?

What seems to cause this problem?
Don't known as this problem occurs only occasionally.
Are you all using iptables?
Yes, this is a www proxy server with "-j REDIRECT".
Are you all routing?
Some kind as this is a transparent www proxy.
From the reports I assume none of you are using an 82571/2/3 (pci express)
