Since "netlivelocks" is increasing, network performance will be impacted.

Is it any better if you don't use bridge/vether, just use the cnmac interface
directly?

Is it any better with a snapshot? (at present these haven't gone past

to make sure it says "6.8" not "6.8-current" in the version number)
