Packet-corruption with re(4)

[Peter Ankerstål]

Hi,

Im using a built in re(4) card and it seems like its causes data- 
corruption as soon as it gets some load (or after a few hours online)


The machine is running FreeBSD 7.0R:

FreeBSD ninja 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Wed Apr 16 22:49:15  
CEST 2008     peter at ninja:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/NINJA  amd64

(using a RELENG_7 kernel updated today)


If I download alot of files with wget or something everything works  
fine for a while until the download just stalls and tcpdump reports  
"bad cksum"

13:04:25.839408 IP (tos 0x0, ttl 64, id 23912, offset 0, flags [DF],  
proto TCP (6), length 1500, bad cksum 0 (->f40a)!) host1.http >  
host2.53895: . 115065:116513(1448) ack 1421 win 8326  
<nop,nop,timestamp 2316944721 2174233192>
and so on

again and again until the connection times out.

A strange thing is that encrypted data seems to work better than  
plaintext. https works for a longer time (after boot) then http for  
example.
