In-Reply-To: <3AC22386.B4DFCF56@magpage.com> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have a similar problem with the 4.3-RC and the Realtek chip, just out of nowhere (usually at 2am or thereabout) one of my interfaces "shutdown". Nothing gets written to any logs or kernel log, and I will have to take the card down and up again before the network gets going again (now that's becoming irritating since it's my local interface and I then have to get a friend to ssh in and take the interface up and down since I have no monitor or keyboard on the firewall). I didn't have this problem at all when I used 4.2-STABLE, and I don't think I saw this problem with the 4.3-BETA (but I've had a lot of reboots due to some power outs, so it might be that I've not noticed this).
