Hi Martin, no, I had no problems. I was reading "OpenBSD network stack internals" by Claudio Jeker, and I was just curious about it. So I started reading the code from the interrupt routine and had trouble with the byte count. The resolution led to this patch, but I haven't been able to understand if the patch may lead to regressions, despite the hints from other developers eheh...
