2.4.1-ac13 tulip problems

2.4.1-ac13 tulip problems

[Nathan Walp]

I just booted to 2.4.1-ac13, and was fine for a couple minutes.  Then
all network connectivity went away, and I had this sitting in syslog:

Hence, I'm back to 2.4.1-ac12, and sending this in.  No other noticible
problems in my short-lived uptime ;-)

I guess the pnic fixes have a side effect we didnt want. What kind of tulip
do you have (lspci -v ?)
