Re: Tulip 21142 panic on physical link disconnect

Hmm...  I'm wondering if that means it's an alpha-only issue then, which 
would make this a much larger headache than it already is.
Also thank you for checking, I appreciate you taking the time.

I assume the those interfaces actually work right? (simple ping over 
that interface would be enough)  I posted in a subsequent message that 
mine do not appear to at all.

My next step is to build that driver as a module, and see if it changes 
anything (I'm doubting it will).
Then after that go dig up a different adapter, and see if it's the 
network stack or the driver.

I've been hard pressed over the last week to get a lot of diagnosing 
time.
