Emulex provides a more recent driver which compiles perfectly and works perfectly (if we can safely assume that a weekend saturating a couple of interfaces runnning benchmarks with no glitches is a good hint). I am now installing the latest beta of 9.3 to see if I can reproduce the panic. I will follow-up in a couple of hours if possible. Borja.
