Further work - FW1 R65 on Dell 2950

So far this install is flaky as can be. The FW.SYS (Firewall kernel level driver) BSOD's the machine once a week and quits routing daily. We've upgraded to HFA2, we have the latest Dell drivers, and have all services off except for those required.

SmartDefense isn't the problem, that's been eliminated. The problem with the BSOD is always processing NDIS. Sometimes when routing stops, the fw ctl zdebug drop shows that inbound packet queue is full. This is getting ridiculous. I think R65 just isn't stable at this point in time. I have had open tickets for many weeks now.
