I believe I have detected a significant problem with the "atl1e" driver for the Attansic Technology Corp. Atheros AR8121/AR8113/AR8114 PCI-E Ethernet Controller (rev b0) when running Fedora 11 preview with the latest updates.
This controller is integrated on the ASUS M4A78 PRO motherboard.
Although my problem occurred when I was running scp, I believe that the problem could also occur with other forms of data transfer and only show up as corrupted data (files). Thus, I thought this email appropriate to warn other users. My current "solution" is to install another NIC.
This problem has been reported: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=503288 http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13404
This is no "show stopper" but may be of concern to other users. I am posting a separate copies of this email to the test and user mailing lists.
