Hi,

I've recently bought an APU1 (by PC Engines) - this was to start to replace 
a number of ALIX boards we use from them with FreeBSD.

However - I'm having issues with the onboard (Realtek) interfaces on it. 
These show up in dmesg as:

"
Event timer "HPET" frequency 14318180 Hz quality 550
Event timer "HPET1" frequency 14318180 Hz quality 450
pcib0: <ACPI Host-PCI bridge> port 0xcf8-0xcff on acpi0

"

Ditto for re1, and re2

The box works OK - but if you throw a lot of traffic at it (e.g. >50Mbits) 
it just "stops".

No messages on console (it's a serial console) - nothing logged, no kernel 
panic - it just grinds to a halt (my serial console dies as well) - and I 
have to reboot it.

The box at the moment is running natd (using re1 to nat for traffic seen on 
re0).

It's running FreeBSD 10.1-RELEASE-p10

The only stuff I see logged (occasionally) is:

"
re1: watchdog timeout
re1: link state changed to DOWN
re1: link state changed to UP
re1: watchdog timeout
re1: link state changed to DOWN
re1: link state changed to UP
re1: watchdog timeout
re1: link state changed to DOWN
re1: link state changed to UP
"

Any suggestions?

Cheers,

-Karl
