The full version string is 2.6.36-1~experimental.1 and I will try 2.6.37 
as soon as it hits experimental.

BTW: I have problems with this network since 2.6.32, however I did not 
see any microcode sw error messages at first.

I have indeed, the version is 8.24.2.12 as you can check in the 
truncated dmesg log.

I didn't want to post it in full for privacy reasons but I can send you 
one in full directly if you are interested. I will however have to wait 
until the problem shows up again. I don't know why, but I did not save 
the full log. Sorry.

Yes, it is a 5300 . I guess you mean 2.6.37 and yes I will let you know.

Sincerely,
