405GP network receive problem

I am debugging a custom board design based on the 405GP and have a problem
receiving lots of TCP/IP traffic (like FTP). We're using a 2.4 kernel based
on Monta Vista's CDK 1.2. UDP traffic (like TFTP) works very well, but it
doesn't ever have back-to-back receives, typically. The problem occurs
at both 10mbit and 100Mbit.
I have narrowed the problem down (using ttcp) to the following:
During back-to-back receives (within microseconds) of two large (1500 bytes)
TCP packets, the second packet is usually dropped by the 405GP. When I
check ifconfig statistics, it shows the 1 lost packet, but also shows 2
framing errors.
Has anyone else seen this type of problem with the 405GP or does anyone
know what the problem might be?
Thanks,
John
