7.0 issues fixed? upgrade timing?

[John Daniels]

  1. I have a realtek network card and am using a cable modem router.  Does 
anyone know if fixes for problems with these (see below) have been backported 
from HEAD to RELENG_7?
2. Is this a good time to upgrade to RELENG_7?
3. I read a post last week that advised that 7.1 is a long way off.  Appreciate 
any advice on use of ULE 3.0 and ZFS prior to 7.1 and a comment on what is 
holding up 7.1.
Thanks


From FreeBSD 7.0 errata notes:



[20080229] Instances of packet corruption and instability have been observed 
with the re(4) network driver. Some users have reported that using a newer 
version of this driver (on HEAD) has solved their problems, or at least 
mitigated them.
  [20080229] A change in the way that FreeBSD sends TCP options has been 
reported to cause odd interactions with some cable modem routers. While this 
issue is still under investigation, a change has been committed to HEAD that 
returns the option processing to that of FreeBSD 6. So far, this change has 
shown some promising results.

new install -- 4.6.2 or 4.7-RC1?

[John Daniels]

Hey everyone:

I am about to do a new install.  I do not want to wait 10+ days
for 4.7-REL.

Will there be a 4.7-RC2? (if so, when?)

Is there a way to get 4-STABLE in one step (install) instead of 2 (install, 
upgrade)?

John
