To be fair its a pretty brutal test box but the results are not so
good as I'd
hoped. Upgrading to a 2.6.9rc2 kernel fixes nothing but breaks r8169 and
via-velocity ethernet drivers too
r8169 should be fine in further -rc2-bk for the amd64 box.
Tejun Heo has posted some patches on netdev which fixes several issues with the
via-velocity driver.
