Hi, what I can tell.
I had a terrible problem with this card (PCI-E version) exactly one week
ago. Both drivers msk from the system and myk from the vendor show
similar behavior.
On high loads, like 2-3 users from Samba domain pulling their profiles
at the same time, the card just chokes. No ping, and
"buffer overflow message".
I mean I had to bring the interface down and up again. Absolutely
disgusting.
No tweak helps.
I mean, we tested it over the weekend and it was fine, till folks come
there on Monday and start massively using the server.
We downgraded the hardware and put good old 3Com509 PCI or whatever
works with xl driver.

Greetings,
I have a marvel yukon pci gigabit ethernet card. For some reason,
after a period of time it will not transmit unless I make it transmit
by pinging via the console. It is very annoying as I cannot ssh into
the machine until I "wake up" the card by telling it to ping something.
I am using 6.2 stable and just yesterday rebuilt the kernel and world
hoping this would fix the problem. But nothing seems to help.
I think the card needs to use the msk driver , which is installed, but
the card keeps using the sk driver. Is there a way to have freebsd re
identify the card correctly and use the proper driver?
Thanks in advance,
Bob
