Hi Alan,

So I switched back to my old on-board network card (removing the prior card altogether from the case). I tried my test-case, which involves downloading some big files while simultaneously running a find command.

I *was* able to reproduce the issue fairly quickly.

The key difference is that this time I was using the skge kernel module for networking. So, I tend to agree that it is most likely not a network driver problem.

Please let me know if there is anything further I can do to assist in debugging.

Thanks,
David
