>Environment:

	FreeBSD 3.2-RELEASE on Compaq 850R
	NIC Card tl0: Compaq NetFlex-3/P Integrated rev 0x10 int a irq 7
		on pci0.16.0
	NIC Card xl0: 3Com 3c905-TX Fast Etherlink XL rev 0x00 int a irq 3
		on pci0.11.0
	NIC Card xl1: 3Com 3c905-TX Fast Etherlink XL rev 0x00 int a irq 11
		on pci0.12.0
	The server works as IP router/packet filter.

>Description:

	Here is a piece of /var/log/messages:

Sep 13 14:03:26 fw /kernel: tl0: adapter check: 180005
Sep 13 14:06:42 fw /kernel: tl0: adapter check: 180005
Sep 13 14:07:37 fw /kernel: tl0: adapter check: 180005
Sep 13 14:08:19 fw /kernel: xl1: transmission error: 90
Sep 13 14:08:19 fw /kernel: xl1: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 1 20 bytes
Sep 13 14:37:49 fw /kernel: tl0: adapter check: 180005
Sep 13 14:39:20 fw /kernel: tl0: adapter check: 180005
Sep 13 14:40:22 fw /kernel: tl0: adapter check: 180005

	I could not find any reference (web/news-groups) to
	"adapter check: " message. The server rebooted itself a few times.
	I seem to be able to get rid of underruns by increasing
	XL_MIN_FRAMELEN from 60 to 300 in /usr/src/sys/pci/if_xlreg.h
	Reboots did not happen since than, but "adapter check: " messages
	persist.

	Here are versions of driver source files:

>How-To-Repeat:

	My guess is that peaks of network traffic cause the problem to show,
	but I do not really know.
