Another hang last night :(
Whats really strange is that the WOL_MAGIC and TSO4 got turned back on
somehow ? I had explicitly turned it off, but when the NIC was in its
bad state
em1: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> metric 0 mtu 1500
options=2198<VLAN_MTU,VLAN_HWTAGGING,VLAN_HWCSUM,TSO4,WOL_MAGIC>
... its back on along with TSO? Not sure if its coincidence or a side
effect or what. For now, I have had to re-purpose this nic to something
else.
