Acenic driver is provided without firmware. When it's being loaded at
boot time, it starts complaining that it can't find a firmware to
load. Boot progreses for a little while and eventually when setting
up
networking, the box goes kaboom. Yay.
Can you be more specific?
Actually it's not an HPMC, it's a plain panic, and jumbo frames
support seems to be the cause. Tried with jumbo frames disabled, the
box didn't panic but the network didn't come up either, i.e.
completely useless driver. Output somewhat garbled by serial console,
tried to reconstruct it as best as I could.
