Alignment errors (update)

I futherly analized the problem:

Pingflooding (ping -f) with various packet sizes does not produce any alignment
error.

Running netperf in either directions does not produce any alignment error.

Running either ping -f and netperf is the same.

FTPing or transfering files via Samba from the Linux host to any other host
generates a lot of alignment errors.

It seems like a problem when the output queue (is there one ?) is filled with
more than one packet.

Any guess ? Does it look like a driver bug or a kernel bug or something other ?

Thanks in advance.

Bye!
