Most likely between 3.x and 4.4-REL the driver for the network card(s) that you're using got changed, and are now causing problems. Many drivers are now much more picky about media problems, so it would be wise to make sure that the hosts on the local LAN segment aren't a) filling the LAN with garbage from a bad cable, and b) the FreeBSD is hooked to the LAN with a good cable. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
