-- forwarded message -- Kernel version: any (2.2.x - 2.4.x) Symptoms: high speed transfers from a macintosh with a BMAC network device are limited to less than 100kB/s and often corrupted. Systems known to have this are some Wallstreets and beige Desktops. 10/100 chips in Lombard are BMAC+ which do not seem to have the bug. This is a hardware bug that exists in some releases of the chip, and only effects Tx packets. -- end of forwarded message -- I see the same problem on my Rev C iMac at 100 mb in both 2.2 and 2.4 kernels. I get slow transfers and broken scp's but not corrupted data on complete transfers. Same machine works fine in MacOS and OSX. Bob -- Robert E.
