Hello, all. I am running the subject software on a Dell Dimension 3000
desktop with two Ethernet interfaces (using the em and fxp drivers).
The kernel modules that are being used are dummynet.ko, ipfw.ko, and
if_bridge.ko. After setting up the pipes, etc. the platform runs as
expected doing its bridging and desired dummynet traffic shaping
function but consistently crashes the platform after about 15 minutes
requiring a power off/on restart (or logging in on a virtual terminal
and issuing a shutdown). If I just do bridging with IPFW but without
dummynet.ko loaded everything is fine. The same behavior results if I
recompile the kernel to support firewalling and dummynet.
I am consistently obtaining what appears to be a FIFO overrun (kernel:
em0: Rx overrun).
I also tried all this with an IBM T22 Thinkpad (internal + PC Card
Ethernet interfaces) and got the same result. Has anyone had a similar
experience and found a fix? Thanks for your time and comment. Sincerely,
--
