I have a patch to make ie(4) MPSAFE. I have no hardware to test it however. Note that this patch is relative to HEAD, so for testing on RELENG_[67] you would first need to MFC the most recent commits to if_ie.c and if_ievar.h (removing the 'unit' field from the softc) and then apply this patch. http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/patches/ie.patch -- John Baldwin
