Hello I have some problems with 3Com nics, after a upgrade from 5.5-STABLE to 6.4-STABLE. This machine has two 3com nics (one is LAN other is WAN) and i see too much "watchdog timeout" on both cards. This on/off up/down on cards, affect the interrupt to clients that are downloading from apache web server, especially on large files. -------------------------------------------- xer:/root# dmesg xl1: watchdog timeout xl1: link state changed to DOWN xl1: link state changed to UP xl1: watchdog timeout xl1: link state changed to DOWN xl1: link state changed to UP xl1: watchdog timeout xl1: link state changed to DOWN xl1: link state changed to UP --------------------------------------------- xer:/root# cat /var/run/dmesg.boot | grep xl xl0: <3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xec00-0xec7f mem 0xfceffc00-0xfceffc7f irq 23 at device 11.0 on pci2 miibus0: <MII bus> on xl0 xlphy0: <3c905C 10/100 internal PHY> on miibus0 xlphy0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto xl0: Ethernet address: 00:01:02:e0:04:1b xl1: <3Com 3c905C-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xe880-0xe8ff mem 0xfceff800-0xfceff87f irq 20 at device 12.0 on pci2 miibus1: <MII bus> on xl1 xlphy1: <3c905C 10/100 internal PHY> on miibus1 xlphy1: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto xl1: Ethernet address: 00:01:02:df:fe:ed --------------------------------------------- Another doubt would be my kernel config, maybe there is something wrong that i cannot see, i'll post at the end of this post, 'cause is too long. As you can see, the cards are 3c905C-TX model. Someone told me to change drivers, but i cannot understand this advice. I got same errors with same cards but with another mainboard, same problem, watchdog appears after an upgrade from 5.4-STABLE to 6.4-STABLE. I don't think that to change nic's pci slots, will solve the problem, i think that maybe change the nics would resolve the matter, but i cannot access to both FreeBSD phisically, cause the boxes are too far from me (about 3500 km). I'm asking you some advices, and i can i fix this problem. p.s. with both 5.4 or 5.5 old kernel, the nics was fine.
