Alan, thanks for a help.

storm ~ # rpm -ql kmod-forcedeth

storm ~ # cat /etc/depmod.d/forcedeth.conf
override forcedeth * weak-updates/forcedeth


storm ~ # modprobe -r forcedeth; service network restart

#last dmesg:

So, look likes all fine

Also I have
storm ~ # cat /etc/modprobe.conf
alias eth0 forcedeth
options forcedeth optimization_mode=1


What you suggestions as for forcedeth optimization_mode ?

I'm planning to do a stress test on Monday.
Because today is the evening of Friday (in central Europe) so it's time to drink beer
Thanks a lot!
