I have the same issue with my Compaq Deskpro 400 with the ThunderLan
integrated NIC under FreeBSD 3.1. I've backed my card all the way down to
10Mbps/half-duplex and it still hoses about once a month - under heavy load.
There are 100+ devices using it for TACACS+ and syslog traps. I'm
considering installing another NIC to alleviate the problem. My .02...
Cheers,

Subject: Compaq onboard NIC
Hello,
Has anyone experienced any difficulties with high traffic volume through
their onboard card on their Compaq with FreeBSD 3.x? It seems that the
interface hangs when high volumes of traffic pass through it. Bringing
the interface and up seems to cure the problem. Doesn't happen on other
operating systems. Has anyone else noticed this? We're running a
Compaq Proliant 800 and the card is a Intel Ether Express 10/100. The
device is picked up as the tl driver.
Any feedback would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Branko
