Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Has anyone ever had problems with one of the Dec 21041 ethernet cards spontaneously deciding that it wants to change which port is being used to connect to the net with? (In our case from the twisted pair port to the BNC port.) The card is as follows: Oct 13 13:31:19 anguish /kernel: de0 rev 17 int a irq 10 on pci0:11:0 Oct 13 13:31:19 anguish /kernel: de0: SMC 21041 [10Mb/s] pass 1.1 The machine had been running for about a month and a half without trouble, then spontaneously decided to output the message Oct 12 09:51:13 anguish /kernel: de0: enabling BNC port There's some possibility that someone might have pulled the cable, would that cause that behaviour (unfortunately I don't know if that's what happened, we don't have anyone on-site at the location the machine is, and have to rely on the people there when things like this come up).
