OK - so from your description it seems that the issue is reproducible on
multiple (different?) systems - is this correct?

If we can get some more details about the failure it will at least point
to whether this is system or NIC specific. Please reply with yes or no:

1. Are you seeing the issue on multiple systems (preferably not of the
same type).?

2. Are you seeing this with different NICs or just the one you reported
in the initial email?

3. Can you provide simple steps to reproduce? You mentioned reboots - is
it fair to say that you see the issue after several reboots?

7.0.33 to 7.6.15.5 is a big leap, if you can maybe narrow the gap a bit
more by testing versions in betweeen that would certainly help.

Thanks,
