I havent tried a recent 'sup, but I also had problems which were fixed
by turning off some stuff using "-tso -lro -vlanhwtag -txcsum -rxcsum"
in the ifconfig line. I would liek to test a recent patch, but political
problems with ohysiucal access to the machine means I am pretty much scared
to reboot it :-( Having said that, I;ve tried the patches on a test setup
and they seem to work very nicely.
