CURRENT has some stability fixes but the source wouldn't be compiled on stable/7 yet due to KPI differences. I have plan to add some features in next week which make it possible to use HEAD version on stable/7. I'm not sure the patch for 88E8040 could be applied to stable/7 but the patch has some fixes for link state handling. Would you give it try? http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/msk/msk.88E8040.patch14 Note, the 88E8040 patch is not complete yet and may cause other problems too. -- Regards, Pyun YongHyeon
