There's no switch in my setup. The other box is running freebsd and has
a cheap noname 100mbit nic. The reason why i'm looking at netbsd is that
the problem mainly occurs when using raidframe.

Nearly all my test were performed without cgd because i realised pretty
fast that cgd is yet another source of distortion and it even regularly
crashed the box. With this mail i compiled a kernel without cgd but it
didn't make any difference.
Out of curiosity i tried a RAID0 setup with two disks but theres no
difference to the previous RAID5 setup concerning my problem so far.
Is there a way to optimise/prioritise raidframe or the tcp/ip
implemention in the netbsd kernel? I'm not very well versed with this
stuff..
Best Regards.
