I have a stack of dual port intel 10/100 cards that this happens on time and time again. I after spending weeks trying to solve this problem (it does not happen under Linux btw) gave up finally, and purchased a different card for the machines that run FreeBSD. The circumstances to make this happen purely involve doing heavy volumes of ethernet traffic (a ping -f or a nice large rsync suffice). It will immediately happen, and sometimes it will recover and work again after 2-3 minutes, sometimes it'll stay dead forever. It purely seems limited to this stack of cards, as I have other cards that do not suffer from the same problem (single port cards). If anyone has any clues, I would be glad to assist in helping track this down as well. Greg * Bryce (bryce@burnip.net) [020605 23:02]: > I've ran into the same problem, on IBM X series servers.
