I look forward to testing 2.6.24 with the workaround for the Asic hardware issue :-) Best regards, Peter Patric Karlsson wrote: > Although I'm currently running a TX4 myself in 3Gbit mode with 2.6.23.1, > I'm waiting for 2.6.24 to reach stable until I try it out myself. > 2.6.23.1 seemed to fix the hard-lock when it tried to reset the card > tho, so now I just get a few errors about "soft resetting" in the logs. > No data loss. > > /Patric
