Hi,

I currently am writing code for the FreeBSD SMP kernel that will allow
us to use symmetric IO handling with all CPUs.  This basically
involves changing the kernel to use a device called the "IO APIC"
in place of the 8259s.  I now have code that does this, with all INT
devices working properly EXCEPT for my ed NIC card.  I have tried different
slots and different cards, but I continue to get:

[ date/time ] /kernel: ed0: device timeout

I am occasionally loosing the INTs expected to be generated by ed_xmit().
The ed_watchdog() routine usually recovers gracefully (network actually locked
twice since running this code: approx 2/3 weeks).  Could someone explain
why the ed0 cards might loose this INT?  Any clues/insight appreciated!

(please cc: me directly)
