Jesse, today the server froze and was not able to see anything in the logs. Nothing at all about any error, just plain froze. Just in case, this is a different unit altogether, still the same model as the units having the Tx Unit Hang, but different memory, motherboard and CPU. The only 1 thing

2.6.18-rc[67] crashes in TCP ack handling

The patch which introduces the BEET mode and which previously was sent to this mailing list is valid also for http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/davem/net-2.6.19.git;a=summary branch. However there are probably some errors in attaching inline the patch to the mail. I retry to reattach
