I have recently changed one of my long running boxes from Arch Linux
to FreeBSD 13.1, after which I see this in the log during file transfers:

During which I eventually loose connection completely and have to
 manually reboot the box.

When I run Linux on the box all runs well, so I don't suspect the
ethernet card.

The card is setup with a static IP address:

ifconfig_re0=3D"inet 192.168.1.3/24"

So it really should NOT change the state like this.

Any advice?

Kind regards.
