various reasons. I have some Broadcom gig NIC's (bge) onboard on Dell 2550 servers that like to do this periodically for no apparent reason. Takes the NIC down for a minute or two, and only happens maybe once a week if that, which isn't a big deal for these particular servers so I haven't taken the time to look into it much yet. Seems to be a driver bug from the initial research I've done. The best I've found in most situations is people saying "well, I gave up and dumped the bge card for an Intel and it's working fine". Found one account of somebody that had access to the source code for the Windows driver and talked about how there were so many work arounds in it for bge hardware issues it wasn't even funny. They seem to be solid on Windows though, so I don't know... anyway...What kind of NIC is it? as for the rest, I'll leave that to somebody who knows about the CARP implementation. -cmb
