Re Alex Povolotsky's problem (fxp driver becomes unresponsive, putting it into promiscuous mode briefly makes it work again): I am getting sporadic reports of a similar (or the same) problem with the fxp driver running on a hacked-up (by me) version of the 2.2.2-RELEASE kernel. In our case, the fxp driver becomes unresponsive, bringing the interface down and back up again with ifconfig brings it back to life. I will likely be putting some effort into tracking this one down. This is complicated by the fact that the failure happens only on a heavily used interface on a production system, and happens maybe once a month at most. If anyone (dg?) has ideas on what to instrument to figure out what's going on, I'm all ears :-). Jim Shankland Flying Fox Computer Systems, Inc.
