    Ever since upgrading to 4.1.1-STABLE, I've been having problems in
which the machine wedges every 2 or 3 days.  It looks like something
in the xl driver code, from what I saw in /var/log/messages (I've
included a portion of this file below).  As the system begins to slow
down, netstat -gin starts showing me Ierr errors on xl0 and lo0.

# uname -a
FreeBSD topperwein.dyndns.org 4.1.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 4.1.1-RELEASE #0: Fri Sep 29 11:02:55 EDT 2000     behanna@topperwein.dyndns.org:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TOPPERWEIN  i386

    The system is a PII-350 running on an Abit BX-6 (rev. 1)
motherboard, 256MB RAM, WD 8.4 GB and 45GB drives.  I have an SB16 and
a Zoom modem in the ISA slots (the latter is useless under 4.x so far,
but that's a different problem and not critical at the moment), an ATI
Xpert 98 in the AGP slot, and the following PCI cards:  Promise 66,
Adaptec 3950U2B, and 3Com 3C905B

Finally, here are the logged errors:

    Does anyone have any ideas?  If you need more information, let me
