Hi,

I have a walnut board from IBM and I just upgraded from kernel version 2.4.0-test2 that comes on the Hard Hat Linux CD to 2.4.2-mvista_010303. I'm getting between 50% and 100% better network performance, as measured by netperf, now. This is a good thing :). Can somebody tell me why? Or give me a pointer to kernel differences?

Thanks,
Jim

...Can somebody tell me why?

Different driver that actually handles multiple packets. I just found out about it yesterday and I'll include the patch in the FSM Labs source trees.
