I am not sure I understand. Are you saying that using 2.6.30-2-amd64
kernel also makes your forcedeth adapter being not functional ?

Hi Eric,

If I run my tests with the 2.6.30-2-amd64 kernel the network doesn't malfunction.

If I run my tests with the 2.6.32-3-amd64 kernel the network does malfunction.

If I take the forcedeth.ko module from the 2.6.30-2-amd64 kernel and drop that into /lib/modules/2.6.32-3-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/ and then reboot to 2.6.32-3-amd64 and rerun my tests - the network does malfunction.

Are both way non functional (RX and TX), or only one side ?

Whats the best way of testing this? (tcpdump listening on both hosts and then running pings between the systems?)
