In 2.1.126 using various pcap programs (eg tcpdump) on ethernet, it
seems that some timesamps reported are almost exactly 10ms earlier than
they should be.
This does NOT happen in kernels as new as 2.1.122. I haven't tested
kernels between 2.1.122 and 2.1.126. This happens using two different
ethernet cards, a PCI DE500-BA, and an old ISA wd8013 card.
eg:
14:43:28.193765 a.3694 > b.www: . ack 1461 win 33580 (DF)
14:43:28.183851 a.3693 > b.www: . ack 1461 win 33580 (DF)
14:43:28.196212 b.www > a.3694: . 1461:2921(1460) ack 267 win 8760 (DF)
14:43:28.197425 b.www > a.3694: P 2921:4381(1460) ack 267 win 8760 (DF)
