Well I have been out of town awhile, so this may have been
resolved privately....

All the problems with dn10000s and dn3500s, dn4000s on a net with
registries running on both machine types I have seen before.

I will be willing to bet my last dollar that if you delete
/sys/ethernet8_microcode on your 3500/4000/4500 machines running
SR 10.1, all your problems will go away.

If I still have my dollar left after you try this, I'm rather %&@!!!
I have told countless people about this, but why doesn't anyone
from Chelmsford tell people about this.  It seems like nobody at
1-800 knows about this.  Actually, that's not quite true because
there really is a patch for this, but it seems that the right 
people don't know about it.

I normally don't like to rag on Apollo, but let me just suggest
that alot of the gab on the net about REALLY sending customer
bug reports, patch lists, etc. should really be taken seriously.
Alot of people have sweated days, not hours over this bug.
That shouldn't have happened.
