I made some tests on Fr with a Netbook connected directly to our ks8695 based device and not to the companies network. During the test I couldn't encounter any problem. Than I connected ks8695 again to the companies network and the issue was there right away. So I decided to check how many broadcast I get and it turned out that I have one device on the network that is sending broadcast almost every second if not more frequent. It turned out that the network on ks8695 was not completely down, but very slow and many packets got lost. As soon as I removed the broadcast sending device I could ping ks8695. The consequences: 1. as long as I make no netcat transfer, the network responses are as usual regardless of many broadcasts 2. if during netcat a broadcast occurs, than the network is getting slow, so that if during a constant ping you get a broadcast that ping response gets lost Any idea how broadcast during transfer could affect NAPI in that way?
