of the problems. We'll continue to investigate these problems and
address other drivers.
Out of interest are there any priorities for drivers that will get
fixed before 6.2 release? Obviously em will but what others: bge, xl?

My personally opinion is that the changes needed are too risky to rush
into 6.2 for all of the different drivers. For the vast majority of
people, what is in 6.2 works quite well, and there is no need to
introduce new bugs. We are pushing forward with if_em because the
problems there are pretty widespread, and Intel is providing direct
engineering and QA input. Thus, risk is reduced.
