I am using fbsd 3.1 as ip+ipx router with 2x3c905 (xl,pci) + 4x3c509
(ep,isa) boards.
Ep boards many times stays in the state OACTIVE (tx is idle) which means
that router does not route. I help myself with the following script:
while sleep 5 ; do
for i in ep0 ep1 ep2 ep3 ; do
set X`ifconfig ${i} | grep OACTIVE`
if [ X${2} != X ] ; then
logger -t ifcon ${i}: ${2} (see syslog messages
below)
ifconfig ${i} down ; ifconfig ${i} up
fi
done
done
It does not help bandwith limitation (exactly help but bound must be 1Mb):
ipfw pipe 1 config bw 50M queue 100
ipfw pipe 2 config bw 3M queue 100 (1M seems 'to solve' problem)
ipfw pipe 3 config bw 50M queue 100
ipfw pipe 4 config bw 3M queue 100
#
ipfw add 01000 pipe 1 ip from any to any in via xl*
ipfw add 01100 pipe 2 ip from any to any in via ep*
ipfw add 61000 pipe 3 ip from any to any out via xl*
ipfw add 61100 pipe 4 ip from any to any out via ep*
I know that the same problem have various boards&drivers under linux. My
3c509 are connected in this way:

ep0 => aui+fiber_optic_tranceiver => switch
ep1 => utp+fiber_optic_tranceiver => bridge (2x2Mb microwave connection)
ep2 => aui+fiber_optic_tranceiver => switch
ep3 => switch
Router runs 4 years. Before installation of switches it routes well.
Systat -vmstat 1 reports that p5/66 has enough capacity. I have raised
timer tick (HZ=1000) but error has improved only little. The most little
errors has ep1.
Where is bug? In ep driver or in switches? (Please do not advise to connect
3c509 boards back into hubs - it is too late.)
