            Bug ID: 251267
           Summary: iflib/em Intel I217-LM NIC: sporadic connection loss
                    12-STABLE
           Product: Base System
           Version: Unspecified
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: bugs@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: ohartmann@walstatt.org

OS: FreeBSD 12.2-STABLE #56 r367863: Fri Nov 20 08:12:33 CET 2020 amd64

The box in question is a Fujitsu Celsius M750 system, dated 2015. Since the
first occurence of iflib() in FreeBSD and the related new design, this spec=
ific
chipset seems to have massive problems keeping up a connection open via ssh.
Since then, the problem is present up to this day. We swapped all NICs of t=
hat
type, if possible, with dedicated NIC boards carrying two i350 ports (igb) =
and
the problem has been mitigated so far (still sporadic connection losses, but
very rare).=20
For a reference, we used also some Xubunto hosts with 20.04 LTS on the same=
 box
connectiong to the very same hosts and thoese connections were rock stable =
and
lasted days. Even connections with the igb/i350 chipsets lasted sometimes f=
or
days, but not i217-LM.

Below some hardware specific informations for the i217-LM:
