I'm happy to say that the packet loss I experienced with re(4) on 6.3-RELEASE has been fixed by a patch provided off list by Pyun YongHyeon. I'm also happy to report that the same hardware does not exhibit any re(4) problems with 7.0-RELEASE. ref: http://docs.freebsd.org/cgi/getmsg.cgi?fetch=469314+0+archive/ 2008/freebsd-stable/20080224.freebsd-stable -- Dan Langille -- http://www.langille.org/ dan@langille.org
