So... it's the NIC that I should suspect...
But I've never met this kind of trouble with FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE before.

Is the xl driver in RELENG_4 really buggy?

Sigh... unfortunately, I don't have another type of NIC. All of our PC is
equipped with 3Com's (using xl driver).

When the machine lock up, it's not under heavy traffic or busy at all.
I seldomly see those messages but even when the message appear, the machine
is damn fine...

Thanks for the reply
