Hi

I have been getting funny behaviour from the VX driver (I have a
3com 3c900).

Occaisionally (randomly) the card/driver goes into "slow mode", and
gives ridiculously slow respose on my local ethernet:

PING gratis.grondar.za (196.7.18.133): 56 data bytes

64 bytes from 196.7.18.133: icmp_seq=14 ttl=255 time=850.742 ms

Notice how the times slowly improve by 10ms per echo? Strange.

Does anyone else see this? At work we have a machine running this
card and this driver(?) under RELENG_2_2 (STABLE) and there are no
problems.

The only fix I know of is a reboot. (ifconfig vx0 up; ifconfig vx0 down
does not work).
