Hello,

I've serious network performance problems on a HP Turion X2
based brand new notebook; I only used a 7-1Beta CD and
7-STABLE on this thing.

Scp-ing ports.tgz from a rock-stable 7-STABLE server to it gives :

  # scp -p ports.tgz login@mv:/tmp/
    ports.tgz                             100%   98MB  88.7KB/s   18:49 

(doing the same thing by copy from an nfs-mounted disk even
 takes mores than an hour ...)


Doing a top(1) aside, just shows the box 100% idle :

  PID USERNAME PRI NICE   SIZE    RES STATE  C   TIME   WCPU COMMAND

   30 root     -68    -     0K    16K -      0   0:00  0.00% fw0_taskq


I tested :

  Update Bios
  ULE /4BSD
  PREEMPTION on/off
  PREEMPTION + IPI_PREEMPTION
  hw.nfe.msi[x]_disable=1

All don't seem to matter to the problem.

I put two tcpdumps (server and client during another scp(1) ) on 
  http://bare.snv.jussieu.fr/temp/tcpdump-s1518.server
  http://bare.snv.jussieu.fr/temp/tcpdump-s1518.client

I'm far from an expert on TCP/IP, but wireshark "expert info" shows
lots of sequences like :

  TCP Previous segment lost
  TCP Duplicate ACK 1
  TCP Window update
  TCP Duplicate ACK 2
  TCP Duplicate ACK 3
  TCP Duplicate ACK 4
  TCP Duplicate ACK 5
  TCP Fast retransmission (suspected)
  TCP ...
  TCP Out-of-Order segment
  TCP ...


As usual, feel free to contact me for further info/tests.

Thanx, Arno
