Yes, it's a PIII 1Ghz. I'm not sure how important the packet sizes are: I can lock it with 64 byte and 128 byte packets, with the commonality being that the CPU is maxed out and there are a massive number of little packets all over the place.
Also, the traffic I'm running is raw packets sent straight to the driver, not IP....
I took out the 4-port Tulip NIC and I haven't locked it up yet, though I'm getting really sorry performance out of the sketchy machine for some reason or another. Still, the problem definately seems related to the DLINK 4-port NIC at this point...
