I hope someone has some wisdom to share (other than not using cheap NICs). I have a Netgear FA 310tx installed on my 4.0 FreeBSD box. It has worked fine for the last couple of months but occasionally I get the following message: dc0: failed to force tx and rx to idle state This message will appear on the console every now and then but yesterday and today, I get this message and the NIC just quits, or seems to. ifconfig dc0 shows it to be up and you can ping it from the console but its not sending packets over the lan. Until I can get a better NIC, is there a way to restart/reset this hardware without having to take the server down?
