The only noticeable symptom is dropping ~30 percent of new telnet connections under heavy load. When not loaded it still drops ~5 percent. I had no dropped connections with S4 even when loaded. This just happens to be one of things that I have been testing manually since I noticed some problems with previous patches. Currently using an SMC card with a DEC 21140 chip and the tulip driver on my SMP system. kr - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
