Hello all...
I built a router about six months back and it has been
working pretty good except that sometimes I will lose
connectivity to the subnet on one of the ports (ep2).
I lost connectivity again today and tried to figure
out what
was going wrong. I don't know how to tell if it is
caused
by hardware or my configuration.

After logging into the router from the ep1 subnet I
tried to ping
out to all the subnets. The results are listed below:

I had found in the past that if I down the adapter ep2
and brought
it back up again the communications would resume so
that is what
the shellscript "updown2" does.
me@FBSD_Router1$ su root -c updown2
Password:
ep2: flags=8c02<BROADCAST,OACTIVE,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST>
mtu 1500
inet 10.44.17.222 netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast
10.44.17.223
inet 10.54.17.222 netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast
10.54.17.223
ether 00:a0:24:23:70:cc
ep2:
flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu
1500
inet 10.44.17.222 netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast
10.44.17.223
inet 10.54.17.222 netmask 0xffffffe0 broadcast
10.54.17.223
ether 00:a0:24:23:70:cc
Once I bring the adapter down and back up again it
apparently
functions fine (for a while at least. See below.)
What should I
do now??
Replace the adapter?
Make some configuration change for that adapter in my
Kernel?
Update to v3.5? (The last time I cvsup'ed was prior
to the
router going online for real work.)
Or... What other config file do you want to see?
