Hello,


I know this doesn't belong on -hackers so I apologize in advance. However,
it seems like the right time and place to ask with the conversation going
on. How *broke* is the if_fxp driver? We have them onboard in a handful
of pretty low traffic dell machines and have them in a dell machine 
that pushes a Mb/sec with absolutely no problems at all. So what exactly
are you advocating Dennis? Should we avoid them at all costs and go with
something else or just use them and hope they don't break?

Thanks.


Greg
