Folks, you're talking about different things: * Panics with IPF enabled on SMP and any network card (network card is not relevant for this problem, which is IPF). This problem is understood, and the only current solution is 'don't use both of SMP and IPF'. * What Gary is talking about, which are apparently panics without IPF enabled on several NICs. Since this is a new problem, Gary needs to do some additional diagnosis work so that someone can investigate them. Let's try to keep the issue clear :-) Kris --sdtB3X0nJg68CQEu Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.1 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFC3prMWry0BWjoQKURAoxvAKDMclOusyVLcU/q6ztd2SV8QXHb3wCgsi+g H0dojsTb9Vdc9enc2+V4B1I= =cY6J -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --sdtB3X0nJg68CQEu--
