<blockquote type="cite">Hi Bernd,
<br>
<br>
I just ordered both a PCI-X and a PCI-e version of the Intel
PRO/1000 MT
<br>
adapters. After a bit of googling, it would appear that Broadcom
has a
<br>
tool called BACS that can be used to disable the LSO support
feature of
<br>
Netxtreme cards. I'm not sure if this is the right version for
your
<br>
particular adapter. The version.txt file says it supports Vista
but not
<br>
Windows 7. I would give it a try anyway as Vista and Windows 7
are very
<br>
similar OS's ...

<br>
I'm interested in fixing this issue. But I would feel more
motivated to
<br>
make this a high priority if you can verify that the client also
works
<br>
well with a Netxtreme adapter that has the LSO feature disabled.
If so,
<br>
fixing the Intel card LSO issue should also have a high
probability of
<br>
resolving your Broadcom Netxtreme issue as well.

A bit more information on BACS and LSO options ...

Hi Matthew,<br>
<br>
the BACS tools doesn't complain about Win7, it shows me that my
adapter is LSO capable and that it receives a lot of LSO requests
but unfortunately there is no option to switch LSO off in the
advanced configuration tab.<br>
<br>
I very much appreciate your effort to solve this problem! <br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
