I was not aware of this ethernet "feature". Having learned
something new.

Made everyting as told, but still no success.

Another observation I have made:

I am using two kernels from the ubuntu 10.04 LTS distro:

2.6.32 generic and
2.6.31 rt

It is interesting that the generic kernel does better than
the rt kernel. I.e. the rt is practically unusable at
interpolation 4. The generic does quite well for a while,
then suddenly drops off.

Btw.: I am using the e1000e driver for intel cards.

Possibly it may be an issue with the driver?

Do you have an idea how I could find out whether my
problems are because of buffer overrun or underrun?

Regards Roland
