I'm working on reproducing it on my hardware and switches, because without a reproducible test, its just shooting in the dark and that isn't working. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
