>Organization:
National Land Survey of Finland
>Environment:
System: FreeBSD Alpha-flight.nls.fi 4.6.2-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.6.2-RELEASE #5: Fri Oct 4 08:29:34 EEST 2002 root@Alpha-flight.nls.fi:/usr/src/sys/compile/IPANA alpha
Hardware model: AlphaServer 1000A 5/400
Ethernet card: Accton MPX 5038B PCI

>Description:
In sys/pci/if_rl.c function rl_stop(), the expression:
CSR_WRITE_4(sc, RL_TXADDR0 + i, 0x0000000);
causes a fatal trap on alpha systems, when the rl(4) interface is up and
running.

>How-To-Repeat:
Enable the interface and set it to 100BaseTX full-duplex, then
try something like spray(8) with options -c1024 -l4096 a few times.
Probably many other network-intensive application will trigger the bug.

>Fix:
Replacing the expression mentioned in the description above with:
CSR_WRITE_4(sc, RL_TXADDR0 + (i * sizeof(u_int32_t)), 0x0000000);
should work.
