I didn't get this joke. Do you thing about routing via
/dev/null?

Nice question. I was told that xload only meassures the load
of user processes, not of the kernel. But maybe, when the kernel
is slow, your user processes can't be processed as fast as normal
and you experience a higher load?

It is testLVS, that means you send only syn-packets, and the server
rejects them.

Well, I don't have too much hope on it, since I have the newest
kernel (with the newes non-modified 3c59x) AND I tried the
driver for 3c90x from 3Com directly. And that one was better.
