->So right now you have 172,504 network buffers - thats at least 17Mbytes
->of them. I guess thats what is leaking. Now does 2.0.29 leak on the same
->configuration ?

as follow up, right now the status is [since yesterday]

Networking buffers in use : 211578
Network buffers locked by drivers : 0
Total network buffer allocations : 118690514
Total failed network buffer allocs : 0
Total free while locked events : 0
IP fragment buffer size : 0

so it looks like it continue to leaks.. the only devices in use are :
