Joe,
You have the *exact* same symptoms as I do.
How do we get SuSE to believe that they have a real show-stopping issue
here? I had several emails exchanged with Hartmut Meyer, but he
refused to consider this an issue with 9.0.
I put these cards into several clients' servers. They are effectively
frozen at 8.2. I was going to put one of these family of cards into a
server for a SLOX installation. But now I'll have to look at
eGroupWare or Kolab on some other distro. I can't tell a client to use
SuSE when top-quality hardware that is supported just fine by every
other Linux distro but isn't supported any longer in the latest
versions of SuSE.
Not a good situation... If anyone reading this has contacts at SuSE
they think may be helpful, please send me a private email.
