Hello, I and my friend experience issues with data corruption in network transfers on EEE 901 and EEE 1000. We found them by copying of encrypted files over NFS/CIFS ending up with disastrous results (we also saw scp errors and other issues).
The issues seem to be similar as described in the thread at http://kerneltrap.org/mailarchive/linux-netdev/2008/12/24/4486694 When I restart my EEE901 laptop, boot Debian lenny (Debian 2.6.26 kernel, or compiled 2.6.28.8/2.6.29.3), mount NFS/CIFS volume, and calculate an MD5 of an 1.5 GB file the checksum will be incorrect!! There seems to be approx. 120 byte block difference at a random offset. Removing TSO support from the atl1e driver does not help. When I boot WinXP, mount SMB drive and calculate MD5 it works correctly!! I have not found more information about this ugly problem. It makes the laptop unusable. Is anyone experiencing similar problems on the Attansic atl1e ethernet? Or does the network work reliably for someone? (which kernel/driver?) Thanks, Vlad Cerny <[email protected]>
