Synopsis: nfe(4) not working on Asus P5N32-SLI Premium motherboard (nforce 590)
State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: yongari State-Changed-When: Thu Nov 11 23:59:50 UTC 2010 State-Changed-Why: It seems you have three issues here. o watchdog timeout issue o can't send/receive frames with either DHCP and static IP assignment o generate bogus traffic storm which in turn make systems connected to switch lost connection For watchdog timeout issue, would you try the patch at the following URL? http://people.freebsd.org/~yongari/nfe/nfe.watchdog.diff The second issue could be related with tracking of link state change. The patch above will show "LINK UP" message on your console if nfe(4) think it established a link. Otherwise it would print "LINK DOWN". In order to send/receive frames, you always have to see "LINK UP" message first. Please check whether you can see the message with DHCP or static IP configuration. I have no idea for the last issue. Can you see what kind of traffic is generated on link partner side? I think you can connect two systems with straight cable and see what kind of traffic does the nfe(4) generate on other system with tcpdump. If it's 802.3x flow control traffic I have idea how to keep it from happening.
