On a few machines we see routine fxp0 and tl0 device timeout errors. The newest (the tl0's) are on Compaq 10/100 interfaces built onto the motherboards of Prosignia servers. WRT the tl0: The problem seems to be related to network traffic, not uptime. If we move 1-2Mbit/s for about 1 hr the boards lock up. A simple ifconfig tl0 down, ifconfig tl0 up clears the problem. When locked: ping, and other utils report no buffer space available. There _are_ plenty of MBUF clusters available. The console gets errors like: tl0: device timeout tl0: adapter check: 100007 tl0: device timeout tl0: adapter check: 100007 tl0: device timeout tl0: adapter check: 100007 tl0: device timeout tl0: adapter check: 100007 tl0: device timeout tl0: adapter check: 100007 The problems with the fxp0 are clearable just as easily, but the more traffic the system moves, the more often it needs to be done. Any way of knowing what the device is complaining about/concerned about? Thanks!
