I applied the patches (or thought I had) and managed to get gigabit stable for a short while by poking around with ifconfig settings. Unfortunately as soon as I rebooted I'd lost it and couldn't manage to get it back again - I'm not sure what I did in the first place. Instead my poking around was rewarded with a kernel panic. It's late now and I need the machine back on the network, so I've switched back over to the vr(4) port for the moment. Tomorrow I'll check my patching more carefully. Can you tell me though what your rc.d script contains? Thanks for the help so far. Jonathan
