Well, partial nod of agreement.   I guess the point is that Broadcom et al 
found a raft of problems with the chipset / firmware / driver and made 
improvements in response.   I was going to say that perhaps IBM's doc has 
not kept pace with the later developments.   But then I looked at the doc I 
downloaded and printed, prior to beginning my x205 setup.   IBM mention 
grabbing the latest drivers, even insist on the user getting the latest 
flash BIOS and installing it so they seem pretty keen on the latest and 
greatest stuff.   The doc you have came from the CD perhaps, and may thus 
be stale?   FWIW my x205 document carries the IBM number MIGR-44443.

Interesting - or coincidence? - that with an ssh session to keep it feeling 
loved, the server remains up.   The session is on which NIC - the Broadcom 
by any chance?

Cheers,
