I would like to inquire about what FreeBSD version are you running? Did you do a fresh install of 5.4 to a empty disk or did you do the build world process?
Build world means you are running the old file system. Fresh install means you are running the new file system. During the development and integrating of the new file system into 5.x there where a lot of reports of system hangs and auto rebooting when the system was under heavy load. A nic was never considered as the problem then so maybe your nic is not the problem now. Maybe the new file system heavy load problem is not completely fixed yet. If I remember correctly it was never determined if the heavy load problem was caused by old file system using new file system code or new file system using new code and just not performing under heavy load. Just my thoughts about your problem from a different prospective. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Casey Scott Sent: Wednesday, July 06, 2005 12:33 PM To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: NIC suggestion I am experiencing the same rebooting under network stress that others on this list have reported. The box is using 3com 905b's, and I would like to try another NIC in the box to make sure that this isn't just a driver issue, though I strongly suspect it isn't. Can someone suggest a common 100 MB NIC that has proven to be very stable in 5.x?
