Bug ID: 156226 Found on this todo list: http://wiki.freebsd.org/EdMaste/ToDo I was wondering if i could offer a donation Hardware/Money to get this fixed, in my opinion this is a very important feature for the platform. I understand there are other ways to correct the behavior but one would expect this to be solved in the driver. I think as a server platform with many users just taking for granted that this works, but it does not :( Any workarounds or offers? ARP aging? Thankyou. --=20 Regards, Jason Leschnik.
