I had originally thought it had to do with VirtualBox, since up until = now, the only boxes I'd see exhibiting this were running a VirtualBox = VPS, but this server doesn't have one running =85=20 Has anyone seem this before? =20 The odd thing is that the bce driver code hasn't been modified since Nov = 17th, 2012, according to the FBSDID tag in if_bce.c =85 so its not a = change to the driver itself =85 I was having some odd issues with another server that has VirtualBox, = where similar would happen =85 I reverted back to code around Feb 5th, = and it seemed to have gone away =85 am trying to see if I can narrow it = down to a specific date, but maybe the error message has more meaning = for someone else =85 ?
