I had a similar problem 4(?) years ago when I tried to use 3c509B ethernet cards in a router/gateway box I built. The ethernet interface would just hang every so often and stop passing traffic. My solution was to ifconfig ep0 down; ifconfig ep0 up every time it hung until I got them replaced. Something about the 3com drivers in that particular version of FreeBSD not completely supporting the "B" revision 3com cards. I moved to a different brand card and my problems vanished. If this trick starts your ethernet traffic up again, I'd suggest looking into buying a different brand ethernet card that might be better supported by FreeBSD. Just remember to replace "ep0" above with whatever ethernet device you're using (check "ifconfig -a"). On Mon, 11 Feb 2002, Stuart Tanner wrote: > I recently had an ADSL connection installed.
