Hey List, I just re-installed FreeBSD 8-stable on my laptop and everytime I have network traffic, even something as innocuous as a ssh shell with a large section of scrolling text, the interface keeps flapping up and down. I've had FreeBSD 8 installed on here before and I don't remember it doing that, but I could be mistaken. However, I just noticed it again. I was running Gentoo and it had no issue. os install: freebsd8-stable i386 (from 4/2/2010) kernel: generic with snd_hda, pf sections and atapicam added /var/log/message shows: Apr 3 23:45:23 <kern.notice> alucard kernel: ed0: link state changed to DOWN Apr 3 23:45:25 <kern.notice> alucard kernel: ed0: link state changed to UP Apr 3 23:45:28 <kern.notice> alucard kernel: ed0: link state changed to DOWN Apr 3 23:45:30 <kern.notice> alucard kernel: ed0: link state changed to UP Apr 3 23:45:36 <kern.notice> alucard kernel: ed0: link state changed to DOWN Apr 3 23:45:38 <kern.notice> alucard kernel: ed0: link state changed to UP ..... ad nauseum It's using a PCMCIA PC-card because I jacked the pins on my built-in ethernet device. pciconf -v: cbb0@pci0:8:6:0: class=0x060700 card=0x30a5103c chip=0x8039104c rev=0x00 hdr=0x02 vendor = 'Texas Instruments (TI)' device = 'PCIxx12 Cardbus Controller' class = bridge subclass = PCI-CardBus dmesg for the ethernet device: ed0: <Linksys EtherFast 10/100 Integrated PC Card (PCM100)> at port 0x100-0x11f irq 18 function 0 config 16 on pccard0 ed0: WARNING: using obsoleted if_watchdog interface ed0: Ethernet address: 00:04:5a:a1:59:c3 miibus1: <MII bus> on ed0 nsphyter0: <DP83815 10/100 media interface> PHY 5 on miibus1 nsphyter0: 10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto ed0: [ITHREAD] Is the "using obsoleted if_watchdog interface" something that should really be worried about? Is this a driver issue with the card or the cardbus controller? Any tweaks to sysctly or anything else specific I could try? Any more info needed? Thanks.
