Hi Lee,

I think you are saying,  most of the total lockup's are hardware related,
and not related to monowall itself.
Well, that's exactly my experience  too.  I had lockup's before when using
the onboard intel nic on my compac SFF EN series.
I started to use Realtek's in every box and I didn't have any lockup's
anymore, not a single one!
Few weeks ago, I  needed a box and had only one realtek left. I decided to
try using the onboard intel nic again for the WAN interface.
Two days later that box locked up :-)  I put a realtek in that box and
stopped using the onboard nic.
Uptime 13 days now, no more lockup's just like my other realtek based
systems.

So I'm pretty sure your statement is true ;-)

Sincerely,
Y.
