We're experiencing problems with the bge gigabit ethernet driver. We have a 100 Mbit ethernet network and are running 4.5 standard install kernels. We have two 4.5 machines A (with a bge gigabit driver) and machine B with ed0 interface. With small packets or low load, there is no problem sending data (via ftp) from B to A. However when we attempt to ftp a large file, about 16 Megabytes, from machine B to machine A, the connection immediately hangs and we start seeing timeout messages from the bge driver on machine A. The interface is completely locked up and machine A no longer responds to pings. If we abort the ftp request, machine A heals after a while (5 - 10 minutes). and things start working again. I grabbed the latest bge sources from FreeBSD.org and rebuilt a 4.5 kernel with them. The problem still occurs. Has anyone seen this hang before with 4.5 and know of any fixes? I've just started to look at it. I looked at the bug list and didn't see anything reported for the bge driver. Machine A is a Dell 2650.
