Thread-topic: VIA Velocity RC4 test report
We found the RC4 to work much better than RC3.

Pre-RC3, loading the module on init caused Oops.

RC3 loaded fine on boot but any activity soon flooded the PHY and took
down an entire switch. It is possible the NIC detected gigabit when it
was plugged into a 100MBit switch but I am not sure.

RC4 has been working very well so far (24 hours).

Thanks,
Kevin
