Hello,

This issue has been discussed in the past both on this list and on the 
current list, however it seems to have been marked clean on both.  We 
have a number of Dell PowerEdge 1950 SMP servers under a decent amount 
of load running FreeBSD 6.2-RC1.  Every 1 to 2 days these servers drop 
their network connection and have to be rebooted to get it back.  The 
errors we are seeing look like:

Dec 15 08:14:03 kernel: bce0: /usr/src/sys/dev/bce/if_bce.c(5002): 
Watchdog timeout occurred, resetting!
Dec 15 08:14:03 kernel: bce0: link state changed to DOWN
Dec 15 08:14:05 kernel: bce0: link state changed to UP

We see this a number of times before the interface actually dies.  Here 
are the versions we are currently running:

FreeBSD 6.2-RC1 #5: Tue Dec 12 16:10:33 EST 2006
src/sys/dev/bce/if_bce.c,v 1.2.2.6.2.1 2006/11/28 17:14:07 scottl

I can provide any additional information if needed.  We're hoping that 
we can resolve this soon as we have a number of additional 1950's on 
their way to us.  Thanks.
