Is it FreeBSD problem or ASUS? It _seems_ to be a HW problem with the SE version of the board - some Linuxen have a peculiar little hack that seems to fix the timeouts. In FreeBSD, the problem has not been fixed, hackishly or not -- and I must say, when I tried to patch FBSD the same way the Linuxen are, it didn't help much. Basic symptom is that under any kind of load, the NIC freezes up. You can ifconfig sk0 down ; sleep 1 ; ifconfig sk0 up to unfreeze it. -- Don't worry, 't ain't no shame to be stupid - ol' mouse.
