btw - have you had the colo center AC power cycle these systems? |
| 10 |
Especially, the first one? And I mean completely remove the AC. |

In some cases, there are areas in the ethernet chip's nvram that |
| 13 |
only get initialized when all power is removed. A system reset, |
| 14 |
and even a reset/setup by the bios won't clear some locations. |

The updated driver prevents almost all of these issues from |
| 17 |
occuring. But they can still, on a few systems, occur. |
