Is there anyone successfully running freebsd on a dellpoweredge 1950?

[Bucky Jordan]

We've also been able to reproduce this problem (on 6-stable as of 9/13
or so) on the 1950/2950 by saturating the system with outbound UDP.

At the moment we're looking into other NIC's, which we'd rather not have
to do. If there's something else that can be done, such as providing
access to hardware, please let me know as I may be able to help. 

I would think that the 1950/2950 is/will be a pretty popular box, so
it'd be nice to see the driver work correctly and reliably on BSD.

Thanks,

Bucky
