but for now, don't trust the onboard NICs to work reliably.

Bill, if those are the Broadcomm Extreme NICs (bce), you need to grab the new version of the if_bce.c file. It fixed the problems that I had with the NICs. There's a char inside the file that defines the version - you need 0.9.6. You've got 0.9.5, I'll bet.

I posted about it on the 16th. See this web page:
