skge vs sk98lin

2007-05-08 Thread Michael Stone
2.6.21 seems to have fixed the stability issues I was seeing when using the skge driver with the older sk98xx dual port fiber cards. There is still one more lingering oddness: if I have *two* dual port cards in a system, say eth2-5, I see traffic on eth2, eth3, and eth5, but nothing on eth4. Th

The skge 1.9 patch is looking good on older syskonnect fiber cards. Stability issues seem to be taken care of and performance is good. There are some strange interactions with bonding, however. If I try to put both interfaces of an sk-9844 into a bonded interface, I only see traffic from one o

Hmm. Yesterday I did some nfs testing (simple dd of a big file) with the skge driver and got about 700+Mbps. I ran the same test today and got 160Mbps. I rebooted the client and got 700+Mbps again. About half an hour later, down to 160Mbps again. Server & client were both idle, and the server d

Hopefully the skge driver will be updated to support everything the sk98lin driver does before it is removed. Among other things, I don't see any documentation for the skge driver similar to that for the sk98lin driver. Is there some driver option to use both ports of a dual port card, as there
