VRRP and media sense/link state on old cards

: Sorry, this should rather go here than ISP, with some adjustments.

Hi

Been having some problems with freevrrpd on ed and lnc cards. It seems to
"work" on the rl0 cards, but otherwise I get the following.

Dec  9 20:32:58 spike freevrrpd[35627]: launching daemon in background mode
Dec  9 20:32:58 spike freevrrpd[35628]: initializing threads and all VRID

Dec  9 20:32:58 spike freevrrpd[35628]: server state vrid 1: backup
Dec  9 20:32:59 spike freevrrpd[35628]: cannot do ioctl, intertface is
faulty: Invalid argument
Dec  9 20:32:59 spike freevrrpd[35628]: interface ed0 is faulty, deactivated
from VRRP VRIDs
Dec  9 20:33:00 spike freevrrpd[35628]: cannot do ioctl, intertface is
faulty: Invalid argument

Pretty much the same with lnc.

Is there a way around this? Not so fun to replace all the cards :-/
(although they could probably do with it) I tried using it through the vlan
device on the ed and lnc cards but that did nothing, just got the same
error.
