1. thanks for the report
2. increase net.core.wmem_max, ping -f -q -l xx -s yy with xx and yy
big enough and the driver will _still_ stop receiving/transmitting :o(
3. if I take the time to write a nice message to tell you why, it will
delay me:
- publishing an updated patchset against -rc6 that can handle davem's
git-net with minor pain for akpm
- preparing a serie for Jeff
- answering the rot^Wpending r8169 reports
