If 82574 can still pipeline Tx data DMA when a new context is written it would be better to enable checksum offloading. If em(4) uses single Tx queue, we can safely enable checksum offloading, I guess. > Jack > > > On Tue, Aug 17, 2010 at 11:52 AM, Pyun YongHyeon wrote: > > > On Mon, Aug 16, 2010 at 05:07:11PM -0400, Mike Tancsa wrote: > > > Hi Jack, > > > FYI, I am still seeing this same problem on RELENG_8 (code > > > as of today).
