we had a lot of problems with linux drivers and the intel giga nics onboard our tyans; we turned off power management in the intel's eeprom. maybe the same problem affects freebsd? the script to fix it is here: http://e1000.sourceforge.net/wiki/index.php/Issues#82573.28V.2FL.2FE.29_TX_Unit_Hang_messages to use this fix on our pfsense box, I booted a linux rescue disk (suse 10.2 cd 1 as it happened) and downloaded and ran the script mentioned here: this might or might not help... good luck! --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
