--9ToWwKEyhugL+MAz Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I hate to say it, but I've had these for months starting at 4.6-stable and continuing up to at least the latest 4.7-RRELEASE-p* . I have one=20 dual -current box that has exibited the same behaviour as well. The boxes work just fine with the xl0 driver. Lots of different motherboards and processors (all PIII) and a number of different Intel card revisions. I can't run my squid boxes on fxp cards _at all_ for example, the fxp driver will take the box down with it. On my firewalls it's locked up the=20 interfaces numerous times. The only suggestion I can offer at the moment is to try various card=20 placements over your PCI slots. I've found stability using one of the first two slots for my Adaptec controller (2940U[2]W, 29160[N]) and the rest for the Intel nics. This happens both with or without POLLING enabled. I've tried a number of combinations of POLLING enabled/disabled, not=20 compiled in and different HZ settings. Obviously no POLLING on my SMP=20 boxes. I know one or two others that have had problems with this too, but haven't= =20 had the time or equipment at hand to work with any developers on getting this fixed. I guess I got the equipment now (various PIII UP/SMP boards from Gigabyte, Asus) and a little time if anyone wants to bite. My guess is that the POLLING commits broke something, but that's just a=20 guess. I don't have any dc cards here, and no one has ever complained=20 about either them or the rl cards timing out. There also seems to be a definite correlation between the fxp problem and the ahc driver. Ok, the rest of the "me too's" should now chime in with a bit of time and energy. There's also a PR open on this: kern/45568 . --=20 Med vennlig hilsen/Sincerely, Shaun D.
