I recently upgraded to the 2.2-970422-RELENG kernel on my 486dx4-100 with an EtherExpress16. This computer is attached to a Pentium 133 with an SMC EtherPower 8432BT with a 10base2 connection. When FTPing from the Pentium to the 486, I get spurts of 925kb/sec and then 1-2 second pauses (according to netstat). The following messages continually appear on the 486 ie: receive descriptors out of sync at 18 ie: reset The number 18 in the message above varies between 0 and 40 something. When FTPing from the 486 to the Pentium, the throughput is about 15kB/sec with no kernel error messages. With the old ix driver, I would consistently get between 700-800kB/sec both sending and receiving with an occational ix: timeout error message. If anybody has any ideas as to what is happening, please let me know. The change to the ie driver seems to have rendered my EtherExpress16 card useless. Richard Straka straka@inficad.com
