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.
