After cvsupping sources on 3/18/1999, I finished the upgrade tonight; after building the new kernel, ping times to my default gateway jumped from ~2ms to ~23ms. Rebooting with my previous kernel (source from ~3/1/1999?) eliminates the problem. Looking at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/src/sys/pci/if_tx.c it looks like there has been some activity with if_tx.c recently... anyone got any insight? cheers: andy On Thu, 18 Mar 1999, Keith Pitcher wrote: > I cvsupped 3 PCs with the same configuration yesterday to > 2.2.8-STABLE.
