Nothing -- but there are known compatibility problems with MSI/MSI-X on some boards. I remember reading about this with regards to em(4) not too long ago. It's worth ruling out, especially since his problem is reproducible (if disabling MSI doesn't fix the problem, he can simply remove those two loader.conf variables and we've ruled out one possibility). >>> mskc0: Uncorrectable PCI Express error >>> mskc0: Uncorrectable PCI Express error >> >> Those errors at the end of your dmesg don't look good; could be the sign >> of a NIC or motherboard that's going bad, or possibly a very strange >> driver problem. > > or just connectors should be cleaner or card isn't fitted well - contact > problems. I'm under the impression his NIC is on-board, not a physical PCI-E card. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
