I recently set up a network at home to share an internet
connection with a win98 box.  Currently it's ppp/nat with a modem, in
a few days ADSL.  It works just fine for a while, but I'm experiencing
unexplained outages where I have to do an ifconfig dc1 down/up to wake
it up again. No error messages on the console.

I also installed Samba on the box which works great (as long as the
network is up).  I'm using a 3COM Home Connect hub.

Here's the output from ifconfig:

dc1: flags=8847<UP,BROADCAST,DEBUG,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500
	inet 192.168.1.1 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 192.168.1.255
	ether 00:80:c6:f9:70:ec

	supported media: autoselect 100baseTX <full-duplex> 100baseTX 10baseT/UTP <full-duplex> 10baseT/UTP 100baseTX <hw-loopback> none

dmesg:

dc0: <Macronix 98715/98715A 10/100BaseTX> port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xebfbfe00-0xebfbfeff irq 9 at device 4.0 on pci0

I understand that this driver is new to 4.0, so I'm taking a shot
here.  Any ideas?

Thanks,
Bryan
