This is one of many issues we have seen with the NetXtreme II device. After a lot of back and forth (1.5 years+) with Qlogic, the issue was never sufficiently root caused. This was with the help of instrumented drivers, updated firmware, raw ASIC dumps, and hardware defect analyses of the NICs exhibiting the issue. The conclusions I've come to is that this is almost certainly not a problem with the FreeBSD driver. The condition generally persists across reboots. Often the problem would stop after the NIC was fully re-seated within the chassis, so I would definitely try that. If that doesn't work I do think the issue likely warrants an RMA of the device from Qlogic. They should have a record of the issue internally. Good luck. Matt Joras
