I am experiencing some strangeness with a newly installed system that I hope someone can help me with. It's a generic pentium II system with two LNE100TX NICs installed (complete with the 82c169 chip). I just finished building and installing the world so I'm up to 4.x-STABLE that's a couple of days old. The cards were probed and assigned the 'dc' driver on install so that's what I built into the kernel. I guess that's enough on the setup. As to the problem - the machine seems to work fine for a period of time (during which it's mostly idle since I'm not yet done setting it up). Then, at random times, the networking just seems to disappear. I can't ping the machine from outside and the machine can't ping out. Everything just seems to be dead as far as performing any networking operations goes. I have not tried running ifconfig on the NIC after things go south. Given how buggy the chips seem I guess I wouldn't be surprised if it could just be the boards. Could it be something else? Has this been experienced before? Is there any remedy? Does anyone have any other ideas? Any info/help would be appreciated. Andy To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
