Hi folks,

I have the somewhat strange feeling that this (or a very similar) question
has just been asked yesterday or so, but I cannot yet locate it in the
mailing list archives at www.freebsd.org, and therefore I'm sorry if I'm
asking something that has just been answered, but ---

My ethernet interface (D-Link DFE530-TX, vr0 driver, running on 10Base-T)
seems to do something that even my cheap NE2000-clones didn't do: At
seemlingly random intervals (for example when I fetched my mail using
fetchmail two minutes ago), it just stops responding. If I try to ping
another host on the local network, I get a message like

sendto: No more buffer space available.

Furthermore, I have sometimes received the message "vr0: watchdog
timeout", but that didn't neccessarily happen at the same time as the total
hang described above.

My current solution is to do a "ifconfig vr0 down" followed by an "ifconfig
vr0 up". This solves the problem, but, well, I guess there is something I
can do to prevent it from happening altogether, right?

Any hints are welcome!

Greetings
Nils
