The only release to have this bug is 7.3 from march (our only release this year so far), all other releases are from before the bug was introduced or will not have the bug (8.1). For me 7.3 seems unusable without this patch, on all our HP ProLiant DL 380 G4 servers. These have have built-in bge NICs. I manually apply the patch on production servers for now, which works for me. If/when Pyun feels confident about it, I think it should be fixed in 7.3. Regards, -- Anders.
