[Bug 404708] Re: Broadcom BCM5906M ethernet adapter (tg3) hangs under heavy tcp load (bittorrent) when generic segmentation offload (gso) is in use

For 2.6.32-9 mainline, I can confirm the problem still exists, same
error as on the karmic standard installation.

For 2.6.33 mainline, the network does not produce corrupted data any
more (with gso on and mtu unchanged at 1500), but -at least on my
machine- the performance becomes very poor (about 2.5 MB/s). Switching
gso off or changing the MTU down to 1000 brings performance back to over
10 MB/s.

fixed Kernel lands in Ubuntu?

I have access to one or two S10e netbooks with that network chip if any
more testing is needed.
