A Call for help from the excellence of this list:

My FreeBSD box is giving me TROUBLE.... If someone could detect what is
wrong, and if it is a bug, please tell me how to submit it to the kernel
people...

I have two ethernet interfaces, a 3Com 905C-TX that is flawless so far, it
uses the "xl" driver, and an onboard LAN port that was autodetected at
FreeBSD install and assigned the "sis" driver.

Description of problem:  seconds after pluggin' my second ethernet interface
into my switch, (also occurs plugged into a Netgear 10BT hub), no matter
what cat-5 cable I use(I switched out cables furiously), I get this message
on the console:

Mymachine /kernel: sis0: watchdog timeout
Then ping yields:
Ping: sendto: Host is down
(repeats until Ctrl-C)

Description of freebsd system:
FreeBSD 4.3-BETA, running kernel compiled from sources.

Description of hardware:
Processor: Athlon 600 MHz
Motherboard: ECS K7ASA w/ AGP slot, two PCI Bus Master UDMA ports, 2 ATAPI
ea.
RAM: 256 MB PC 100 SDRAM, 3.3V unbuffered DIMMS.
