Hello,

Recently I have installed FreeBSD 5.3 (AMD64) then I updated sources to 
RELENG_5 and recompiled the kernel. Everything works fine except failures of 
onboard NIC:

Feb 15 12:13:51 omega kernel: vge0: watchdog timeout
Feb 15 12:13:51 omega kernel: vge0: soft reset timed outvge0: EEPROM reload 
timed out
Feb 15 12:13:51 omega kernel: vge0: setting CAM filter failed
Feb 15 12:13:51 omega kernel: miibus0: unknown CICADA PHY model 0
Feb 15 12:13:51 omega kernel: miibus0: unknown CICADA PHY model 0

it hangs, so ifconfig shows "no carrier" and I have to reboot computer. 

My hardware:
motheboard: ABIT AV8 with VIA K8T800 Pro + VT8237 chipset
cpu: AMD Athlon 64 3000+ running at 1.8GHz
NIC:  VIA gigabit PCI ethernet controller with operation support ACPI & wake 
on LAN, running on 100Mb LAN, vge0 interface

boot log:
vge0: <VIA Networking Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xb400-0xb4ff 
mem0xf8120000-0xf81200ff irq 22 at device 14.0 on pci0
kernel: miibus0: <MII bus> on vge0
kernel: vge0: Ethernet address: 00:50:8d:d1:3d:33

However, before RELENG_5 upgrades NIC worked  fine (at least for 3 days)! Is 
there any solution for this problem? Maybe I should disable the ACPI in the 
BIOS? 

Thanks!
