I'm surprised that you are having any problems like that with the Intel cards. There aren't any known bugs in the driver, so I'd look in the direction of the hardware, perhaps even the cables. How are the machines connected? Are they connected through a hub, a switch, or perhaps a cross-over cable? Which version of FreeBSD is involved? It's also possible that this is an NFS bug of some kind that only shows up when the timing is right. -DG David Greenman Co-founder/Principal Architect, The FreeBSD Project To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
