we are facing the same problems on the MCF5484. The network  
performance doesn't go beyond 60 Mbit/s measured with netperf (UDP  
STREAM). Unfortunately, the SLUB allocator is not available until  
Linux kernel version 2.6.22. We are working with the BSP for the  
MCF5484 Evaluation Board which is based on an outdated 2.6.10 kernel.  
I know that there is a new BSP scheduled for the end of august. I am  
wondering on what kernel version it will be based on?

Best regards,
Markus
