This does not seem like a vserver specific problem.  Please bring your  
problems to the PlanetLab devel mailing list where the appropriate  
people can answer your questions.  I've already cc'd it here.

Right.  Like I said, we don't support the igb driver yet.  I did an  
initial port of the driver, which compiled but cause the kernel to  
crash.  I've not had time to look further into this, as I am worried  
its wasted time since we really should be moving from 2.6.22 to the  
2.6.27 kernel that Herbert prepped for us earlier this year.  But we  
are short handed because two of our engineers left for greener  
pastures working for Data Domain and and have other priorities.  If  
there are any systems programmers already in the US looking for a job  
and are willing to move to Princeton (New Jersey), please send me your  
resume. :)

> Oh. Ok. I am temporarily using  fast Ethernet card.

That's the best approach right now.

Best regards,
Marc

I am also using 2.6.22 kernel.

Oh. Ok. I am temporarily using  fast Ethernet card. 

That's the best approach right now.
