'Lo all. I'm running 2.1.7 on two machines. I know from the release notes that it's not recommended that one uses Intel EE/16 net cards with FreeBSD. However, I'm using them anyway since that's what I have. I won't complain about the stability of the driver, but I wanted to know if one particular side-effect I'm experiencing is due to the driver support, or if I should look elsewhere for the cause. Specifically, I'm getting lots and lots of timeout errors when I do NFS transfers between machines. The kernel sometimes reports 50-60 timeout errors when transferring, say, 15-20MB of data. Both cards are set to use the full 32KB buffer (both on the card and in the kernel), and they are going through a central 9 port hub connected by Cat5 cable. Should I just chalk this one up to the driver? If not, what else might the problem be?
