Crazy suggestion.  Check the memory on your server using memtest or the =
like.
Those stats you quoted just look very wrong to me, since they numbers =
are huge
for broadcast and multicast.  I think something in memory is trashed.  =
Now,
it may be a bug in the driver or somewhere else, but check your memory =
first.

Best,
George
