I would like to request that some useful work on networking be MFCed from

The thing that's worried me, following only [EMAIL PROTECTED] traffic,
were the reports about the new em driver (6.6.6?) causing hangs and other
problems with people who have been updating RELENG_6 - have those who had
those problems seen their issues resolved? I've got remote boxes using
em that I can't risk making inaccessible and can't test locally.
All my problems with watchdog timeouts and em 6.6.6 occurred when em
shared interrupt with USB but I don't know if it's MB, em or usb that's the
problem. Removing USB from the kernel or switching to polling and the
driver works just fine.
The fact that one of my test machines didn't have any problems was because
it had no USB in it's kernel. I had removed USB as I had problems with
watchdog timeouts with the bge driver when I first upgraded to the D915GAV
MB ages ago. The bge also shared interrupt with USB.
