The receiving end is a Fedora 9, AMD x86_64 box with an Abit m56s-s3 board using nVidia Corporation MCP65 Ethernet (rev a3). It uses the forcedeth: Reverse Engineered nForce ethernet driver. Version 0.61. Should I forward this info to someone so this could be fixed? Someone doing the kernel memory management? Or forcedeth? Or? Please let me know.
