With ACPI disabled, this was alleviated. So, basically, it will stop working after a while. My guess is that ACPI will shut down the power for the NIC. But that is only a guess. Furthermore, when ACPI is disabled, no network problem arises. This suggests, at least to me, that ACPI is somehow involved. > > >>> gets very warm as everything (presumably) is running at full throttle. >>> Is there any way to disable the ACPI partially, i.e. allow spin-down >>> for disks etc, but keep the NICs running? >> >> >> This is IMHO not about FreeBSD support of ACPI but possible BIOS settings that turn on some kind of hibernation. > > Each and every power saving function in the BIOS is disabled.
