Since yesterday I keep getting re1: reset never completed! re1: PHY write failed re1: PHY write failed re1: PHY write failed for one of the network interfaces. I have 3, all same chipset I think: one integrated (re2) and two on PCI-E (re0 and re1). only re1 has problems, the rest are fine (with one detail to mention: sometimes at boot re2 is not seen, it does not exist. rebooting makes it visible again - happens seldom). after this the status line normally shown by ifconfig disappears (it is still there for the 2 other interfaces that are ok) and for media it says: media: Ethernet autoselect (none) I tried disabling RX/TX checksums, UP/DOWN the interface, it does never recover. Reboot might fix it, but it seems to go again to this "dead" state in a few minutes - sometimes it boots like this. It's not a cable, I switched them (this is a bridge, so which cable goes where does not matter in my case) - still the same problem. Any ideas? It worked exactly like this for 2 full weeks with absolutely no problem, now I keep getting this almost immediately after reboot. Please CC me if replying, I am not subscribed to the list. BR.
