Hi,

I've moved to a new server with bge card driver, similar configuration:

and i have similar problem.. i check each minute for ping and i see
sometimes loss of 50% or 100% (ping -c 2 -t 4 otherside.ip.com),
here are the sysctl dev.bge.1.stats:

this driver gives more statics...

please help me, this causes us serious problems with customers.
