Subject:   nfe0 connection not as reliable; a few questions...

Updated current  { from Sept last year } to this week... and nfe0 now seems=
 to require a reboot=20
daily at least { no access to beyond-the-lan ... }=20

Is there maybe some tunable (net.inet... ) related  or sysctl { kern.ipc...=
 } similar, that
could be a cause?  New code of ifconfig or the network stack within the las=
t seven
months or so? Usual fixes of MTU size to set?=20

The coincidence of the daily network stack loss with the installkernel/worl=
d r298350 would
at first glance rule out hardware issues... Hadn't seen that type of networ=
k  issue before
{ I can connect to the gateway, but the modem  { comtrend } in bridge mode =
seems
to fail.  }.    I checked some of the net@freebsd.org list to no avail...  =
 The modem had worked
fine for about two weeks previously... at least.

Apologies for wasting anyone's time; there are tests I could run with more =
machines on the
lan, but though to ask here first.   And did not think of those setups unti=
l after I had half-completed
this email...

Thanks.
