Haven't noticed any kernel messages or anything... the interface seems to
be pushing about 500Kbps in, and roughly 2.5 Mbps out...
We have 4 such machines, all are stable *knock on wood*. Most of the
traffic is NFS.. They are all dual PPro boxes with 256M of RAM, running
2.0.30... the 3c59x.c driver is the only thing that's "different" ;-)
They're all pushing about the same traffic, too...
Stable enough? heh.. prolly not -- but I haven't had any problems at all
;-)
