Way back in Nov 2010, this thread was related to a problem I
had, where an re(4) { 810xE PCIe 10/100baseTX, according to the
driver } interface dropped received packets, resulting in a
significant impact of NFS performance.

Well, it turns out that a recent (post r224506) commit seems to
have fixed the problem. It hasn't dropped any packets since I
upgraded to a kernel with a r228281 version of if_re.c.

So, good news.

Thanks to those maintaining this driver, rick
ps: If you have a need to know which commit fixed this, I can
    probably test variants to find out. Otherwise, I'm just
    happy that it's fixed.:-)
