Nada, Inc
>Environment:
System: FreeBSD lenny.anarcat.dyndns.org 4.5-STABLE FreeBSD 4.5-STABLE #0: Mon Mar 4 12:16:06 EST 2002 anarcat@lenny.anarcat.dyndns.org:/usr/src/sys/compile/LENNY i386

10 baseT/UTP network, 2 machines connected through a 4 port Hub.

>Description:

I can reproducibly hang my 4.5-STABLE server when FTP uploading at
around 1Mb/s.

The collision rate is extremely high for some reason,

            input        (Total)           output
   packets  errs      bytes    packets  errs      bytes colls
       698     0    1053348        512     0      30756   417

After around 30 seconds of full use of the bandwidth, all network
connections hang, and I have to reset the interface (ifconfig down/up)
in order to bring back network capabilities.

>How-To-Repeat:

More info on the hardware:

Server side:
vr0: <VIA VT6102 Rhine II 10/100BaseTX> port 0x6600-0x66ff mem 0xe1001000-0xe10010ff irq 10 at device 11.0 on pci0

Client side:

rl0: <D-Link DFE-530TX+ 10/100BaseTX> port 0x9400-0x94ff mem 0xd6800000-0xd68000ff irq 9 at device 9.0 on pci0

Base system ftp clients and servers.

Simply ftp upload around 15-20 Mbytes of data.

>Fix:

To temporarly unhang the machine, ifconfig down/up the guilty interface.

Unknown long-term fix.
