Which of the many Broadcom drivers is this? If it's bnx, try editing /kernel/drv/bnx.conf, and uncommenting and changing the "checksum=" line to set it to all zeros. In my experience, hardware offload for networking devices is a Very Bad Thing. It provides at best marginal performance improvements in the rare cases where it does anything at all (basically "specmanship"), and complete trashes data and destroys performance in ordinary use. It adds a ton of complexity to the driver software with little to show for it. -- James Carlson 42.703N 71.076W <[email protected]> _______________________________________________ OpenIndiana-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
