network problems with kernel-2.6.7-1.494

[Steven Stern]

Saturday  is my day to backup my Windows system to the Linux box, and vice
versa.  I started the backup from Windows this morning.  Backup estimated that
it would take 18 hours to move the 1.9GB from Windows to Linux via Samba.
Usually, the estimate is about 43 minutes.

I rebooted both boxes and got the same estimate. I then rebooted the Linux
machine from kernel 2.6.7-1.494 to kernel 2.6.6-1.435.  With the older kernel,
the backup time was back to a bit more than 40 minutes.

I don't see any difference in the report from ifconfig for either kernel.

Is anyone else seeing network issues with 2.6.7-1.494?
