1) Do you need such a leading edge kernel to support your hardware, |
| 24 |
etc.? If not consider droping back to something more stable. |

|

2) As you are Broadcom based there have been some networking |
| 27 |
regressions reported on LKML about Broadcom NICs. Consider reporting |
| 28 |
this on LKML. It's likely a configuration they haven't tested. |
