I reported this same problem some months ago. I used Dachstein for a year with no problem. As soon as I changed over to Bering 1.2 the internal NIC would cease responding after it got any kind of a load. Transferring a 1 meg file would do it. No one on the list seemed to have the problem except me.
It looks like the problem is in the Bering drivers for the particular NICs. The NIC that had the problem for me was a 3Com 3C509. I tried downloading the drivers from the Bering site again just to be sure I didn't have a corrupted driver (Yep, I made sure they were for the same kernel). No matter the driver I had the exact same problem. I didn't have the time keep slogging at the problem, so I went back to Dachstein and the problem went away. Eventually I loaded Bering on a different computer with newer NICs and had no problems at all. Roger >To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] >Subject: RE: [leaf-user] Bering lost it's NICs >From: "J.
