I cvsupped a 3.1-STABLE box about 24 hours ago and rebuilt on the new
source. Since then I've begun experiencing xl0 timeouts which appear to
mimic behavior reported under -CURRENT last September. With no warning,
and with no unusual syslog activity, my xl0 interface will simply stop
working. I did find a message in the archives with a patch made by Bill
Paul to address the issue, but given the age of the patch and the fact
that I also see reports of its failure to resolve the problem, I'm
reluctant to attempt to fit it into my 3.1-STABLE codebase.
A few of the particulars:
Apr 18 09:29:39 dazed /kernel: xl0: <3Com 3c905-TX Fast Etherlink XL> rev
0x00 int a irq 12 on pci0.10.0

Apr 18 09:29:39 dazed /kernel: xl0: autoneg complete, link status good
(half-duplex, 10Mbps)
(I am using a 3C509-TX)

(I see there has been modification to this driver since my previous cvsup)
The rest of the machine is unspectacular. P200MMX on an Asus T2P4.
2940UW and a few drives. All the hardware has been running great without
event since some time circa 2.2.5-RELEASE.
Given the resemblance of my current problem with a recently reported
issue in -CURRENT, I felt it appropriate to approach the list before I
started fumbling around myself.
I've been unable to get a clear indication from the list archives if this
problem was solved or not in -CURRENT.
Thanks, as always.
