Description
Hello,
On my machine, TCP traffic randomly slows down and stops, unless I have a ping running in the background.
I guess the driver does not wake up when it should on incoming traffic, and the continuous flow of packets from the ping forces it to continue working?
I am not sure how to investigate this. Anyone else seeing something similar?

It could be a driver problem, or it could be a problem in the stack or IPv4 layer, too.
Does starting the ping after TCP slows/stops get things started again? Or does it have to be running beforehand?

It seems the fixes in hrev56139 have helped a lot. Getting reasonable speeds and no lockups so far.
Wireshark might help to diagnose (filter on src/dst IP).
