I can, however, say that we did not have problems with the RAID controller with stable/8. We did have problems with the on-board NIC, I don't remember what model it is, but it is based on the BCM5719 controller. We ordered a few PCIe Intel NICs and tried the 82571 which did work with stable/8. We've got on order a few of the HP NC361T, which is based on the Intel i350, which we tested in a Dell and it worked there. Again, all this is with stable/8, but generally if the driver works in 8, it will work in 9. --=20 Take care Rick Miller
