Hi Marc, My DELL PE2950 was 9.1-STABLE r246126M which is definitely earlier than Feb 5th, I use it as VirtualBox host (4.2.6) Yesterday it ran into simular problem like you described, but didn't get any lucky, ping is dead. Then I update it to r247836, it happened again today. There's two warning message after boot: bce1: promiscuous mode enabled bce0: promiscuous mode enabled bce0: bce_pulse(): Warning: bootcode thinks driver is absent! (bc_state =3D 0x00004006) bce1: bce_pulse(): Warning: bootcode thinks driver is absent! (bc_state =3D 0x00004006) I can't turn promiscuous mode off by type "ifconfig bce0 -promisc". Any comment are appreciated, thanks.
