At least as things stand now it Well, kind of my fault too for not getting aroiund to testing the driver for two weeks - I was out of the country so didn't get a chance. > seems like the current driver is noticably better than the previous one > in most regards so deciding whether to ship with this breakage versus > reverting to the older driver isn't a particularly easy decision. Yes, I can see that, and a better bce driver is very much a Good Thing. I have another identical box running 7.2-PRE without lagg and that works beautifuly. What surprises me is that nobody else has made any reports either way - neither a "me too" on the issure, nor a "it works ok here". Surely I cant be the only one using HP servers + Cisco switches and needing redundancy on the links ? Anyone else out there care to chip in ? Let me know if/wher there are things to test though - after the 7.1 relese routing problems I have now allocated a box for testing this kind of stuff, so it's fairly easy to do - I will be away from thursday for another a week though unfortunately which will make that hard :-( Sorry... -pete.
