 > Worst firmware ever.  Seriously.
 Agree, but I run three dozen servers with amr controllers of four
 different types and all behave equal. Without source and/or docs I can

 situation and I am happy, that this is the only corner in my FreeBSD
 world that is not "open".

 I have tested the updated patch, for me it is ok.
 
 Thanks you all for investigating in this problem.
