Hi All,

Unfortunately our company hasn't had the resources to help FreeBSD  
much over the years, but I do want to say thank you to the folks who  
are helping sort out this issue with the em driver.

That Intel gigabit interface is very, very common on server hardware  
nowadays and it means a lot to us to make sure it (and FreeBSD 6.2 in  
general) are stable.
