I am using the "ale" driver, which generally seems to work, although I noticed that when connecting via ssh to the machine, I get disconnected with "corrupted MAC on input" a little too often. Does anybody know if this may be an issue related to the ethernet driver, or is it likely to be something totally unrelated? (I don't get the same behavior, though, when the machine is booted in Ubuntu). thank you very much for any suggestions giuseppe
