Hi there !
My LINUX 2.0.29, NE2000, ADAPTEC 2940 has huge problems with
* tcp connects:
netstat -a
tcp 1 0 www.test.de:ftp pmx.nuernberg.net:1053 CLOSE_WAIT /CLOSE
Occuring with heavy load and - IMHO interrupted ftp connects.
Can anybody confirm this ? IMHO one can drive a very simple denial
of service attack with this. (Sure there are others still working..)
tnx, Guido Stepken

Dear All,
To chime in, yes, I've had this problem as well. My setup is 2.0.28,
WD8013+ne2000, Adaptec 2940. This occurs under all loads for me, but
never seems to affect throughput or load level -- tcp connects stick in
close/wait for unbelievable periods but nothing comes of it, so I wrote
it off as a kernel issue. Anyone had this problem with earlier kernel
versions?
