I have quite a big problem on Debian based Linux distros.

When booting, the system gets stuck at kernel booting quite a long time when addressing the card.
Code:
booting with LINUX_DEFAULT="--verbose nosplash debug"

systemd-udevd seems to get stuck quite a long time here.

Even worse, when manually configuring IPv6, the system crashes once the first IPv6 packet sent.
Total freeze, cold reset is the only solution...

This little gem maybe related
[PATCH rdma-core] cxgb4: Add missing null termination of hca_table — Linux RDMA and InfiniBand development

I tried Ubuntu 16.10 and 17.04, and Debian 9 getting the exact same result.
Interestingly Fedora 23 is not affected.

The Chelsio cards are found-able on a budget so are quite popular, and were integrated by brands like NetApp, so not bad. But this apparently kernel bug ruins it all.

Some one else experienced such behavior ?
