When doing an NMAP scan on a FreeBSD 4.4 (RELENG_4_4 Tag) Dell Lattitude
C600 (as the target of the scan) I get the following errors:

Sep 21 17:28:00 segflt /kernel: xl0: transmission error: 90
Sep 21 17:28:00 segflt /kernel: xl0: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 900 bytes
Sep 21 17:28:01 segflt /kernel: xl0: transmission error: 90
Sep 21 17:28:01 segflt /kernel: xl0: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 960 bytes
Sep 21 17:28:05 segflt /kernel: xl0: transmission error: 90
Sep 21 17:28:05 segflt /kernel: xl0: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 1020 bytes
Sep 21 17:28:10 segflt /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout
Sep 21 17:28:13 segflt /kernel: xl0: transmission error: 90
Sep 21 17:28:13 segflt /kernel: xl0: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 120 bytes
Sep 21 17:28:18 segflt /kernel: xl0: watchdog timeout
Sep 21 17:28:20 segflt /kernel: xl0: transmission error: 90
Sep 21 17:28:20 segflt /kernel: xl0: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 120 bytes

This is demonstrated easiest with:

 nmap -T Insane -sS -p 1- 192.168.69.10

Although -T Normal will also produce these errors.

And I have set:

sysctl -w net.inet.icmp.icmplim=200 (default)

The dmesg output for the xl0 driver is:

xl0: <3Com 3c556 Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xd400-0xd4ff mem 0xfbffd800-0xfbffd87f,0xfbffdc00-0xfbffdc7f irq 11 at device 16.0 on pci0
xl0: Ethernet address: 00:01:03:82:df:00
miibus0: <MII bus> on xl0

I don't think that that behavior occured under the 4.3-ish -STABLE builds
I had on here previously (at least I haven't noticed it before, have
reason to believe I've scanned this machine previously and can't find it
in my old logfiles -- i could be mistaken about having scanned this
machine before though).
