We have a Dell poweredge 2650 (successor to 2550). We also saw the same problem with 4.5. I tried the current bge driver from 4.6 without success. The problem seems to be a size problem. When we ftp a small file, things work fine. However, when we try a 18 Megabyte file, the ftp hands and we see the problem descriped below. The linux system that came with the hardware (from dell) worked fine. BTW. This was occuring with a 100 Mbit link. I have not been able to get any resolution on this. The only replies seem to indicate that something is seriously broken with the bge driver.
