Okay, here's an odd one. I have an Asus M2NPV-VM board using the nfe driver from http://www.f.csce.kyushu-u.ac.jp/~shigeaki/software/freebsd-nfe.html Traffic is moderate (approx 7Mbps) and every couple of days, the nfe device just stops talking to the outside world. I do see one type of error in the logs: Jul 12 10:08:33 cwpro1 kernel: nfe0: watchdog timeout (missed Tx interrupts) -- recovering Jul 12 10:09:04 cwpro1 kernel: nfe0: watchdog timeout (missed Tx interrupts) -- recovering The solution? Plug in a keyboard (PS2). As soon as ukbd is probed, up fires the ethernet device and we're talking again. So, any ideas? This box is in production so debugging time/possbilities are limited. -- Tony Holmes Ph: (416) 993-1219 Founder and Senior Systems Architect Crosswinds Internet Communications Inc.
