Hi there, I have a pretty busy firewall / gateway that's running two Broadcom NetXtreme II cards on full-duplex GigE ports. The internal interface is autoselect (negotiate) and the external is hard-coded GigE. Every so often the hard-coded interface dies and the system logs (like today) show this: Nov 3 14:39:20 myserver kernel: bce0: /usr/src/sys/dev/bce/if_bce.c(5002): Watchdog timeout occurred, resetting! Nov 3 14:39:20 myserver kernel: bce0: link state changed to DOWN Nov 3 14:39:23 myserver kernel: bce0: link state changed to UP Searching around, the only thing I can spot is this, from the bce man page: bce%d: Watchdog timeout occurred, resetting! The device has stopped responding to the network, there is a problem with the cable connection, or a driver logic problem has occurred. I'm afraid it's the driver logic problem, but I don't know where to go from here. Any ideas? I'm using 6.2-RELEASE. Thanks, JJ
