I've run 509B's (and plain old 509's) since they came out, in a lot of busy production critical servers, running FreeBSD and just about anything else for x86 that networked. I've found them to be nothing but rock solid reliable. Do we know who originated the "buggy" comment in the kernel config? Would someone like to volunteer to track back through CVS and see who originated it? Would the originator care to explain the comment? Personally, I think the whole "buggy" statement is bogus, and has been for quite some time. Lacking evidence to the contrary the comment should be squelched before this business of buggy 509's reaches the status of urban legend :-) --lyndon (getting 800+KB/s on his 509's at home, at work at ...)
