I am testing out my 8139too driver on SMP 2.3.44, and seeing some very
strange things. Is the output below normal for 3 ethernet interfaces?
bug point #1 - most traffic seems to migrate to eth0, even though I am
using ping flood and 'ab' to stress test the IPs to which eth1 and eth2
are bound.
bug point #2 - remote 'arp -an' reports that 10.10.10.133 (eth1) and
10.10.10.134 (eth2) as having the same hardware address
Similar 'arp' behavior is seen in 2.2.15preXX. Haven't compared
'ifconfig' between 2.2 and 2.3 yet.
I am not ruling out driver bugs, but it seems very strange that a driver
bug would cause cross-interface weirdness. This behavior occurs both in
the old 2.2-based rtl8139 driver, and my new 8139too driver.
