You can provide a -v to get more detailed information on what is going
on...

Yes, the naming (in the python script) is a bit confusing since it is
from the server's poing of view..  I'm assuming you run the server side
(-s 1234) on another box and the client (server 1234) on the box w/ the
re driver?  so, the errors below means that the client sent a udp packet
and it didn't match...

w/o txcsum you got the following errors?  This is very worrysome as
it means that you're getting udp packet corruption even w/o checksuming..

Ok, what you can do is add the line:
                                open('r.%d' % i, 'w').write(rdata)
just before the line:
                                print 'packet send mismatch at:', i, 'got:', rlen

and then run the client as:
python udpcheck.py server 1234 -s 1792 -e 1795

You will then have a set of r.179[2-5] files... They are the contents
of the packet that was received by the server...  if you could email
them to me in private mail, it might shed light on the problem..

Thanks.
