I recently had a problem with 2 of my machines which caused both to cease working. Some snip's from my logs: Jul 1 17:32:22 fbsd /kernel: de0: enabling 10baseT port Jul 1 17:34:50 fbsd /kernel: de0: enabling AUI port Jul 1 17:32:44 speedy /kernel: de0: enabling 10baseT port Jul 1 17:35:07 speedy /kernel: de0: enabling AUI port At which point both machines stopped responding to incoming telnet/ftp/etc requests. The machines could both be pinged successfully, although the first 5 or so packets were dropped each time I tried. Also note that the 8523T doesn't even have an AUI port. Both machines have been cvsup'd and make world' recently (2.2.6-STABLE). Both machines had an uptime of at least 7 days before this hang. The system clocks are not synched, so it is more than likely that this happened to both machines at precisely the same time. There was nothing noteworthy in the logs happening immediately before these messages.

Although I hope an "ifconfig de0 media 10baseT/UTP" will solve the problem, it does seem inherently wrong that an AUI port should be enabled on a card which doesn't have one. What's more disconcerting is that a single event could trigger all the machines on a subnet with this card to simultaneously stop responding.
