The behaviour suggests that it loses an output interrupt sometimes, or perhaps locks up... ifconfig reports that the link is OACTIVE, and nothing works. If you ifconfig down, ifconfig up, that fixes the problem, so it is within the ability of the driver to correct, given that a timeout or some such triggers the correct recovery. Anyway, I am willing to donate the card to anybody who WANTS TO FIX THE DRIVER to deal with this apparent failure mode, since the card is completely usable otherwise. Contact me if you want to work on this. -mark To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
