My kernel configuration is in basically GENERIC, but I added the ALTQ thingy, that enables queuing capability with PF. Also, the "watchdog timeout" message first appeared running GENERIC, right away after I ended installing 7.0. I've updated kernel and world every 2-3 days since then, in the hope it will get fixed in RELENG_7 at some point in time ;) Hey.. its a 3Com! (cheap one, but 3Com at least).. should I replace the NICs for another brand/model? Any advice or suggestion will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
