In my case, ifconfig down flushes the packets, and ifconfig up gets the interface up and running again (until next burst) -- mild traffic doesn't kill it... > I can't help but think that since newbus went in on 4/16 that there is > some correlation with the second problem.

(ReceiveStatus=3)" on the console, and it also says "adapter not ready to come up", or similar, when I ifconfig the oltr0 for the first time -- but it works anyway). > Needless to say I am very frustrated that I haven't been able to fix > these problems, but I am still working on them.
