yesterday I had my first experience of an if_re interface simply stopping responding. I ma running 7.0-RELEASE on the machine, but with the lates files taken from here: http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/7.0R/if_re.c http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/re/7.0R/if_rlreg.h Luckily I had worried about tis and have set the machine up to reboot if it suspects that it';s netowkring is down, so twelve hours later it did so and I can login again. Is there anythign useful I can get out of the logs to try and work out what the problem is though ? A I see lots of messages in the log like this: "error sending response: not enough free resources" but I am assuming that this is due to the ether stall, not the cause of it. Would enabling polling on the interface help ? (i.e. is this possiblky a lost interrupt issue?). All advice welcome... -pete.
