It's not my case. Currently I focused in the fact that the chipset driver is nfe(4) which will be included in closer 7 branch, but I use nowadays. Especially I'm working in the relation between the NICs (controlled by em driver) and the IRQs. Moreover I'm also planning to recompile the kernel with kgdb support and get a coredump for accurate analysis. -- Thanks, Jordi Espasa Clofent
