I have a strange problem the 3Com cards in my router. I had installed 4.8 on a Compaq Deskpro and installed to 3Com cards that use the xl driver. Most of the time the router works fine, but at random times it would stop routing. If I would log into the machine locally and ifconfig down and up on the external NIC or reboot it would begin to work again for a random period of time and then stop again. Until I would do this I could not even ping anything. I upgraded to 4.9RC2 but the problem still occurred. Now I can only seem to fix it for about a minute or so by doing either a reboot or the ifconfig commands mentioned above. Another strange thing is that when this happens, if I try to SSH into the machine’s internal NIC from a machine on the local net it takes a long time to display the login prompt and then a long time to display the password prompt if it displays either at all before timing out. I can ping the internal NIC perfectly fine though. Does anyone have a clue as to what this could be caused by?
