Subject: tulip hangs under load on sparc64
This is not a new problem, I have a note about it from a couple of years
ago. Now while trying to stress test all my sparc64 test computers I
found and reproduced it again.
Basically, tulip driver driving onboard davicom ethernet in Sun Netra X1
suffers a hang under load. Load can be generated with scp from
fast enough machine so that the Sun becomes a bottleneck.
I remember there was a choice of tulip and dmfe drivers when first
setting up the box, and for some reason the tulip driver was better on
sparc64.
