I have a RealTek 816x NIC in my FreeBSD 8.0 box. I did a full system install last night and at 2AM the NIC gave out. Now it's crapping out in minutes instead of hours. When I run /etc/rc.d/netif restart I get the normal processing data about my NICs and then this: re0: reset never completed! re0: PHY write failed re0: PHY write failed re0: PHY write failed re0: PHY write failed re0: PHY write failed And it proceeds to bring lo0 and re0 back up, but re0 has it's listed static IP but is not discoverable on the network. A reboot can temporarily fix this but I want to avoid rebooting every 4-6 hours automatically (for obvious reasons). I've found patches referencing 7.1 but not 8.0. I can post more details if you need, just point me where you need me to look for them. -- Ryan
