The River's been running a 509B for two years. A couple of things:
1. turn off PlugNPlay
2. don't use a transceiver 

Our colocation service moved the machine recently and put in a
transceiver. The network connection became unreliable. Once I
took off the transceiver all was well. (Someone else figured out the
problem.)

We've used FreeBSD from 2.0.5 until to 2.2.5-stable.

later, david
