Comment 8 for bug 240071

Hi,

I have installed this kernel on my server and enabled the on board LAN that was causing the problem.

I haven't yet attempted to use the port for connectivity but I did notice that the drops was ranking up very quickly (millions per second). This is without any cable plugged in. I then configured the port in /etc/network/interfaces and the same continued.

So far I have not seen any crashing though.

I will try and establish connectivity on this port in the near future and let you know the results, however with the number of drops increasing so rapidly with no connection I am not holding out too much hope.
