Hi, I recently decided to switch my CURRNET from i386 over to amd64 and have since noticed an occasional occurance of the following phenomenon: Every couple of days the nfe0 interface (nVidia nForce MCP55 Ethernet Controller ... Vitesse VSC6801 PHY) enters a mode from which it simply will not recover. When it happens the console keeps spewing out nfe0: watchdog timeout (missed Tx interrupts) -- recovering When this happens i have to reboot to get the interface working again. (I'll probably build another custom kernel soon and disable the nfe driver so i can try if a kldunload/kldload cycle will do the trick). Considering i have never observed this phenomenon when running the exact same system with CURRENT/i386 i wonder if this problem may be some sort of 64-bit issue. Any ideas and/or solutions would be appreciated. With kind regards, Pascal Hofstee
