Also on this version the net dies every 10 - 15 minutes, and also after the 3rd die i need to force a reboot to get my net back. ################################################## #FreeBSD 6.1-PRERELASE - if_nve.c version 1.20 # ################################################## I have downloaded this if_nve.c driver trough cvsup using tag=. and after that placed if_nve.c if_nvereg.h + the contrib/dev/nve/ dir into the 6.1-PRERELASE src/sys folder However this driver seems to work best due My network havent died completley yet, i havent had to force a /etc/rc.d/netif restart nor had to do a reboot. Anyhow the timeout issues still exsists and the system freezes for a second between every timeout. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - My hardware is the following Motherboard -> Tyan Thunder 2895 - K8WE http://www.tyan.com/products/html/thunderk8we.html nForce™ Professional 2200 and 2050 core-logic solutions, I dont know if this some customized chipset or whatever, i think it's just an ordianry nforce4 eth chipset ive gotten. Iam marking this bug serious due this is my workstation / desktop PC and yes my only PCI slot already gotten a soundcard connected ;) So i dont have the money to buy a PCI Express Network Card. I have to stick with the nforce one ^^ Iam absolutley intressted in testing new patches, etc I have no good C/C++ programming experience so sadly i cant try to code this by myself ='( Regards Pete >How-To-Repeat: I have no idea what you mean by this >Fix: Rewrite the code? >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
