Default Re: R65 + Dell 1950 + Broadcom NIC
I hope that's wrong given that Dell's come with two Broadcom NICs built in and the Dell 2950 is on the HCL.

What symptoms would show up?

"sk31652 - SecurePlatform hangs periodically" says what you mentioned about problems under load, chillyjim. It also says "The solution is to upgrade to Secureplatform NGX, where there is no issue with the Broadcom NICs. If that is not possible, then either use the single processor kernel, or use different NICs, such as Intel, with which the issue does not occur." Hopefully this is no longer an issue...
