Deepak Jain AiNET --- fxp2@pci2:5:0: class=0x020000 card=0x10f08086 chip=0x12298086 rev=0x05 hdr=0x00 fxp0 if the embeded 82559 of an STL2 MB. fxp1 and fxp2 are 82558 on a dual pro/100B card. System is 4.2-STABLE or -RELEASE. what works: - UP kernel with or without NFS activity on all interfaces - SMP kernel without NFS (client) activity on all interfaces - SMP kernel _with_ NFS (client) activity on fxp1 or fxp2 What do not work: - SMP kernel _with_ NFS (client) activity on fxp0 (Symptoms: message "SCB Timeout", NFS related activities locked hard. All other non NFS related network activities keep running). Hope this may help. RN.
