The machine is a PC with a celeron, a DFI M/B with an intel chipset, the nic is a miibus/rhine compatible DLINK 530TX. My network is just 2 back to back fbsd boxes. They both have the same DLINK in them but my second machine is running fbsd 3.4R. The 3.4 machine has never had any problems. >How-To-Repeat: ~60 minutes of semi-constant NFS(udp), web and other misc traffic across VR0 >Fix: not known. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: mike State-Changed-When: Sat Jul 21 20:02:49 PDT 2001 State-Changed-Why: Does this problem still occur in newer versions of FreeBSD, such as 4.3-RELEASE? http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=18932 From: Mike Barcroft To: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: kern/18932: Total loss of ethernet needing reboot.
