Re: [gentoo-server] Can someone confirm? tg3 MTU issues.

[Brett Curtis <dashnu.mutt@gmail.com>]

Ok, this is great. In saying that do you have any idea what I should look at?

Again same tests on any of my servers running different nics work fine
connected to the same switch. I have the latest nic firmware from ibm... I
guess it could be something else ibm specific?

These are the two cards I am having issues with.

Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5721
Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5703X

I probably should have noted that seeing the tg3 supports a wide range of
nics ..
Could you test on a machine using one of these cards or did you already?

thanks for the response.
