Hello,

This should be fixed before the release of 9.3, and of course as soon as =
possible for the rest of the branches.

At least under 10-STABLE the "oce" driver can cause a panic when there's =
a lot of network traffic. I have been able to reproduce it
using "iperf". Sometimes the panic can be triggered within seconds of =
starting an iperf test.

There's a new driver available for download on the Emulex site, version =
10.0.747.0, and it works perfectly. The source code compiles perfectly
under FreeBSD 10-STABLE (at least recent versions since April) and the =
kernel module loads without trouble.

There's a bug report covering this but seems to be forgotten :/

Thanks!




Borja.
