not so much about M2, it's mostly been about the non-M2 version. > I have not tried to use the LOM module yet, > though I have some for my next pair. A bit offtopic but they get mentioned somewhat often here and I don't think I've seen this mentioned before: With the non-M2 one, if you want to use LOM with the machine booted, you must disable the bge(4) and just use the nfe(4). (this is the opposite of what you want if you'd like to handle really high traffic flows ..) mine are just on the usual masterswitch, cisco 25xx/26xx+conserver combo instead (pity about the non-rj45 serial ports, oh well..that's what netras are for :)
