I included a previous summary for reference. I am at V3.2a on a 2100 using
AdvFS and I'm still getting crashes and the message "tu0: packet dropped: no
mbuf". The move to v3.2a doesn't seem to be working. Any thing else I should
do. Is there a patch to v3.2a? I also have a call in to DEC.
thanks

We'll be going for the 3.2a upgrade plus the fixes. Thanks to all of
you who responded. Here is a summary of the responses I received so far:
