Just a thought: Petri Helenius (pete@sms.fi) posted his dmesg last tuesday. I noticed it had the following lines: de0 XXX: driver didn't set ifq_maxlen lo0 XXX: driver didn't set ifq_maxlen I have never seen this on my systems, although I'm using both drivers. I do not suffer any reboots. Given the name of the parameter (ifq_maxlen) I can imagine that it could cause problems when there is any network load. Maybe in relation with bpfilter... Anyway; I don't know if it is related (probably not), but I thought it would be good to draw attention to it. marcel To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
