You may want to check it. You can at least confirm whether his problem is his alone, or if it's shared by others. I suspect that it will be specific to him, actually, given other factors (i.e. it might be specifically an rl0 <-> rl0 only problem, etc.). > The network also runs through a fairly cheapo switch. It could be a duplex problem, but none of that code is different from 4.7, and he says it works there, dso that's not going to be it. I expect that it's his specific cards from a specific vendor, and the only one who will be able to find the change that causes his problem is him (he's the only one complaining about it, at this point). -- Terry To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
