Hi, what I can tell. I had a terrible problem with this card (PCI-E version) exactly one week ago. Both drivers msk from the system and myk from the vendor show similar behavior. On high loads, like 2-3 users from Samba domain pulling their profiles at the same time, the card just chokes. No ping, and "buffer overflow message". I mean I had to bring the interface down and up again. Absolutely disgusting. No tweak helps. I mean, we tested it over the weekend and it was fine, till folks come there on Monday and start massively using the server. We downgraded the hardware and put good old 3Com509 PCI or whatever works with xl driver.
