Comment 2 David Sommerseth 2010-10-07 11:43:26 EDT

Verified by code review.  Stress tested using iperf on hp-xw4200-01.rhts.eng.bos.redhat.com with Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5751 Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express.  Seems to work very stable on this box.  Both 32bit and 64bit architectures tested.

Comment 3 David Sommerseth 2010-10-07 11:44:19 EDT

Code review implies, checked that upgraded driver was applied to kernel-rt-2.6.24-169.src.rpm.
