Morning All, I've been having a heap of trouble with the primary network interface on a box that was running 5.4 and recently upgraded to 6.0-Beta5 where the interface would just go dead. Nothing in ifconfig or syslog or dmesg would indicate a problem, but nothing would go in or out. The only way to fix it was reboot. A week ago, after searching the mailing lists I realised it might be the fact that I was using Netatalk and that might not be MP safe so I set debug.mpsafenet="0" in /boot/loader.conf and the box has been stable ever since. Is anyone looking at the kernel Netatalk code? Is this likely to be the real reason for the problem? Thanks, Carl.
