The short answer: under IO load the card drops net link or panics kernel. is it any recipe to trigger that behaviour? i have that card (builtin) on loaded server with 2 months uptime and with quite lot of traffic going through that card. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
