All of my problems are still actual on FreeBSD 5.3R, too :-(.
Kernel panics on 'halt -p' always when network cable is connected. When
network cable is plugged out, there is no panic at all and the laptop
correctly turns itself off.
Today I have discovered (thanks to pav@FreeBSD.org), that setting
> ifconfig re0 -txcsum -rxcsum
solves most of my problems. cvsup works ok, no kernel panic on 'halt -p'
even when the network cable is plugged in. Of course it does not solve
"rarely hangs at boot", because the setting is applied after boot.
I have not tested the "-txcsum -rxcsum" for long time, just for a few
hours.
Should I divide this PR (each subproblem into separate PR)?
Other similar problems found:
o PR kern/76551
- re0: watchdog timeout problem

- problem with checksum offloading on re
o http://freebsd.rambler.ru/bsdmail/freebsd-current_2004/msg20316.html
- re0 device txcsum issue
Would be great if this could be fixed before 5.4R.
