Thanks Jeremy, no such down up here is show so I believe this is not
the case, here anyway. The interface in question was em0 details:-
em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection Version - 6.7.3> port 0xd400-0xd43f mem 0xfea60000-0xfea7ffff,0xfea40000-0xfea5ffff irq
23 at device 8.0 on pci1
em0: Ethernet address: 00:30:48:71:b6:b7
em0: [FILTER]
FreeBSD test 7.0-RELEASE FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE #0: Sun Feb 24 19:59:52 UTC 2008
root@logan.cse.buffalo.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386
Would be most interested in the results of you vm test if you would
be so kind.
