--- Comment #10 from mack@ifis.cs.tu-bs.de ---
Same problem here from time to time on a four port realtek card (re0, re1
currently used).

Machine is used as a router and it now happened three times that the interf=
aces
somehow get shut off - not seen, what the real problem is, as we had to hav=
e it
up and running very quickly, so an immediate reboot helped in all three cas=
es.

link state changes to DOWN / UP happens once or twice every minute, when we
cannot receive any packets on both interfaces, even though only one interfa=
ce
is logged with this problem.

This switching down and up again happens every now and then without further
impact. Time between DOWN and UP message is four seconds quite consistently=
. Is
seems to be triggered from a watchdog timeout (kernel: re0: wathcdog timeou=
t).

Maybe the problem gets triggered by (too?) much network traffic, as the net=
work
traffic was probably higher during those three cases.

Btw.: someone mentioned of similar problems when pf was enabled and no
problems, when pf was disabled. We are running ipfilter on that machine, so=
 it
might be possible that filtering and high traffic promotes these problems,
regardless of the network card used.
