There have been lots of bug-fixes since then. I suggest you include an upgrade to 6.3/6.4 or 7.0/7.1 in your forward planning. The em(4) device is quite well supported and maintained (by an Intel employee). There have been major changes to em(4) included in 6.3 and 7.0 and these may correct the problem you are seeing. My initial recommendation would be that you try 6.3 (or 7.0). If that is impractical, you may be able to upgrade the em driver to whilst retaining the rest of your 6.0 system - I haven't tried that but I don't see anything in UPDATING that would rule it out. [The approach would be to checkout a RELENG_6_0_0_RELEASE kernel then update sys/dev/em to RELENG_6_3 and build a new kernel]. --=20 Peter Jeremy Please excuse any delays as the result of my ISP's inability to implement an MTA that is either RFC2821-compliant or matches their claimed behaviour. --3O1VwFp74L81IIeR Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (FreeBSD) iEYEARECAAYFAkhJDdcACgkQ/opHv/APuIdlmQCfXwdH7dCflHxN7c9l9eRIoTlR +LEAoKaTWa25AsKjWtwfaTsSdEWiU0+E =fcun -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --3O1VwFp74L81IIeR--
