Hi,

We have two routers running FreeBSD r320487 (BSDRP) with bxe NICs, they are connected together with a twinax cable and to our ISP with 1Gbit fiber. The NICs in question are Broadcom BCM57840S (Supermicro AOC-STG-B4S).

The link between the routers will go down on one side not long after it's brought up while staying up on the other side. I am not able to bring the link back up without either unplugging the cable or powering the routers off and on again, if I try to bring them up by taking them down and up with ifconfig they will stay down no matter what the state was before.

After the routers have been up some time the console will be flooded with messages like this:

bxe0: ERROR: resource (0x0) in use (status 0xffffffff bit 0x1)

This is not always limited to just one interface, but can include all interfaces which are in use.
