Eric,

We made the driver a loadable module and it seems to work. It is a
temporary workaround.

I mean :
I have a dell R710 with four : bce: <Broadcom NetXtreme II BCM5709=20
1000Base-T (C0) card.
While running FreeBSD AMD64 7.2-RELEASE I sometimes got strange message
from=20
bce but main problem is that if I do a soft reboot (just typing reboot)
I=20
then have lots of message like : "if_bce.c Unable to write CTX memory"
and=20
then no more network acces.
To make it work again I don't have other solution that do a cold reboot=20
(unplug power).
I saw other people speaking of this but never find solution.
Is there a way to make it work without changing network card?
