Or at least make it non fatal=2E
OK here's the story; I'm experimenting with a multiport NIC (re(4))
as we hope to start using multiport 10G NICs=2E
Any of the re's we've used in the past have been very stable, which
is why I picked the one I did for this experiment=2E This one has been
performing rock solid for some 4 to 6 mos, under full time use=2E That
is until the last week=2E Where we're seeing:
watchdog timeout
repeated frequently=2E Which is ultimately fatal=2E ifconfig up/down will
not resuscitate it=2E Nor will service ifconfig restart, or plugging/
unplugging the cable(s)=2E Bouncing the server is the only cure=2E Which
is unacceptable=2E Any, and All suggestions, or insight into the matter
GREATLY appreciated=2E Note; while this is an old 11=2E1, we're not planning
to up this box until we can confirm this can be cured=2E :)

Details follow:
11=2E1-STABLE r327867 amd64
