Nope, no watchdog messages.
I do get several of these though:
xl0: transmission error: 90
xl0: tx underrun, increasing tx start threshold to 120 bytes
From 3com's DS, 0x90 means your host's feeding packets rate is too low.
How many times you have seen this error? Let's take it as N
line 433 in /usr/src/sys/dev/netif/xl/if_xlreg.h
#define XL_MIN_FRAMELEN 60
Say N == 3, then change above line to (3 + 1) * 60, i.e.
#define XL_MIN_FRAMELEN 240
But keep it less then 1540
See whether the problem still plagues you
