My original message is at the bottom. I've got no
answers from the mailing list, and only when I opened
service case with SUN Support I've got a solution:
they recomended to enable recieve and transmit pause:
ndd -set /dev/ge adv_pauseRX 1
ndd -set /dev/ge adv_pauseTX 1
(it looks like the second setting disabled by default)
Now I can go as fast as 75-80 Mbyte/s without any
errors.
regards,
Vladimir.
