However the card works fine on 10Mbps. May 7 00:42:45 aphrodite /kernel: tx0: device timeout 16 packets May 7 00:42:45 aphrodite /kernel: tx0: can't stop TX DMA May 7 00:42:53 aphrodite /kernel: tx0: device timeout 16 packets May 7 00:42:53 aphrodite /kernel: tx0: can't stop TX DMA Straight after boot upo this message will appear always: tx0: device timeout 1 packets tx0: can't stop TX DMA However it will work fine for 1 day or so until it fails. I must state that i am running a 14 Gig squid cache on a Pentium II 233Mhz with 256 Meg of Ram. Noone on the mailing lists have had this problem and i think this might be a bug in the tx driver. Regards Andrew Specht System Administrator Internet Access Australia andrew@iaccess.com.au >How-To-Repeat: Running an ethernet card that uses the the tx driver on 100Mbps will repeat the problem most likely. >Fix: unknown >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
