I have found that 4.0 and ex0 have some odd interactions however. On my 4.0 machine with an ex0 card, sometimes the card seems to "fall asleep" during boot up. The machine will not receive or send packets out of the interface. I can wake it back up by doing a tcpdump(8) on the interface. My guess is something about switching in and out of promiscuous mode does some resets. I have mentioned this on the list before, but have not written a PR. Perhaps that is in order if someone else can verify this behavior. I have not checked if such a PR exists. -- Crist J.
