Hi. 

CARP, VLAN-s and em driver works fine in RELENG_6 (6.0 and 6.1) with copper 
interfaces. As soon as you try FC, old story repeats, like described on link 
with those patches... 

Can there be done something for FC cards? I have pfsense firewall with FreeBSD 
6.1 as OS and with copper is fine, with Intel FC cards goes to INIT. 

Thank you, Jan Zorz
