I have a strange problem(?) with my essg (4.1.2). About every 10 or 20 days, my eth0 adapter (internal network) stops responding. Using ifconfig, I've noticed that the TX packets stop accumulating, but the TX errors continue to grow. Although I can't say for sure, it belive that my TX packets at time of failure, always number into the multi millions... I have observed this 3 times now. Maybe this is a hardware failure, where my adapter is slowly going bad, but a simple reboot always corrects the problem for at least another 15 days or so. I tried to determine if my hub was not accepting the TX packets, but then again, why would rebooting solve my problem. I also thought of switching the eth0/eth1 cables and essg configs and seeing if it is an adapter problem, but before I do, I was just wondering if anyone else has ever seen anything like this. If someone has, I'll report it to bugs@... If not, I'll continue on... Any help or hints in diagnosing my problem would be appreciated. (By the way, does anyone know how I can take the adapter down and then back up again without rebooting??? I know there are Linux commands to do this, but I was thinking in terms of essg...)
