Hi John, I tested the blades on the AMD platform with the Embedded NC370i Network adapter and it works fine under 6-stable. I was wondering if there is any patch that I could apply under 6-2 release for that network adapter. The reason I'm asking is because we are talking for 3 servers 2ns and 1mail and it would make me feel better following the release branch.
