Does anyone have a system reliably running inn with a 2940? I don't follow how you conclude that is the 2940 driver. I'm running a news server on -stable with a 2940. News load is moderate (100,000+ articles accepted, 200,000+ offered, 90,000+ articles fed out). INN (without mmap support) works flawlessly. However, the system doesn't. It panics every two days. In my case, I suspect hardware. Tom
