It only recently got committed to 13, and so hasn't had enough time to be tested in more environments than mine. There have been a few others that have tested it. -- John-Mark Gurney Voice: +1 415 225 5579 "All that I will do, has been done, All that I have, has not."

I see. Since I have the hardware and freebsd head seems broken on my laptop, I'll try compiling stable/12 with the ure patch from head within the next few days. I have gigabit internet and other machines to test the ethernet with the full 1000Mbps. Are there any actions you suggest I take to benchmark or stress test the hardware or make sure everything is working properly?
