Unfortunately I can't move to the latest. We have a bunch ofkernel 
modules from various vendors, board support packages that aren't in 
mainline, etc.  We're in the process of moving to 2.6.10 and that 
requires support from six separate companies.  It's a mess.

If it matters, I'm on a G5 with the sungem driver (which I don't think 
supports TSO).  I've already applied the last -ac patch for 2.6.9 which 
has a number of fixes for 2.6.9 TCP issues, but apparently not all of 
them were caught.

Any pointers you can give me?
