I have an ASUS A8N-SLI Deluxe in my desktop machine which runs FreeBSD 6.0+Xorg+Gnome. It has two on-board NICs, the nvidia one and a Marvel one. The nvidia was one big disaster and was giving me device timeouts so I never bothered with that one again. --------------------------------------------------------------------- skc0: <Marvell Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xac00-0xacff mem 0xd4008000-0xd400bfff irq 17 at device 12.0 on pci5 skc0: Marvell Yukon Lite Gigabit Ethernet rev.

It keeps crapping out with "sk0: watchdog timeout" and appears to take the whole desktop down with it, apps become unresponsive and Nautilus basically freezes. Bringing the interface down and up restores connectivity, unfortunately Nautilus won't continue copying files (despite it offering a "Retry" button, it just kept spewing errors) so having to manually figure out what was and wasn't copied over every 20GB or so is quickly becoming a pain in the behind. Looks like some PRs were filed on this issue but I guess they haven't been able to fix it (yet? - say yes please). It may also be worth noting that this NIC also lost connectivity in Windows XP from time to time forcing me to disable/enable it, so maybe the NIC itself is just garbage.
