I had a similar event last night, on a P4 on an Asus P4P800. The current driver is much less prone to this lockup problem than it used to be. In my case it does not have to be in a high-load situation, it appears to happen rather randomly (and *very* infrequently) FreeBSD freebie.xs4all.nl 6.1-PRERELEASE FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELEASE #2: Thu May 4 22:37:22 CEST 2006 skc0: <3Com 3C940 Gigabit Ethernet> port 0xe800-0xe8ff mem 0xf7ffc000-0xf7ffffff irq 22 at device 5.0 on pci2 skc0: 3Com Gigabit LOM (3C940) rev.
