Thanks !

By the way, my ixgbe conf doesnt like net-next-2.6 at all.
(No link is established in my fiber loop configuration)

current linux-2.6 git runs correctly, link at 10Gb, so there is a
regression somewhere.

As this machine is quite slow (I dont have anymore my Nehalem dev
machine, had to use an old setup), a bisection would take one month...
