12:09 AM - em issue
I've been unable to recreate the problem with the em driver on the dell gx260. Using a managed switch, I was able to set the port speed at various settings up to gigabit without causing a panic at startup.
The next step will be to get the user to compile a kernel with debug options. There could be a specific issue with certain intel NIC revisions or just with that card. Since the user said it works in other operating systems and with freebsd 6.0, it is most likely an issue with certain revisions and this driver.
