You can buy bcm57xx based boards, where the chipset is nice but the driver
not really nice yet.
My tg3 driver sucks then right? Could you send me a bug report?
You can buy syskonnect sk98 boards, which definitely have a good chipset -
but the driver doesn't support the tcp transmit zerocopy path yet. I've
tried to put some pressure on SysKonnect about this - but they seem a bit
'slow'.
The hardware is not capable of doing it, due to bugs in the hw
checksum implementation of the sk98 chipset. They aren't being
"slow" they just can't possibly implement it for you.
Franks a lot,
