I have a strange problem with my Dell Inspiron Laptop. The network card will stop responding to all network traffic. This happens very regulally, though without any obvious pattern. Sometimes it only appears as slight packet lose though normally the network connection goes completly. But then at other times the connection stays up for a resonable time. I have tried different cables, hubs, etc but to no avail.
Link status doesn't seem to get dropped, only IP.
When the connection gets dropped doing an ifconfig down/up on the interface does ?
Unplugging and then inserting the network cable will restore the connection for at least a few seconds.
I am running a recent current: FreeBSD opal.macaroon.net 5.1-CURRENT FreeBSD 5.1-CURRENT #0: Fri Sep 19 21:59: 12 BST 2003 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/OPAL i386
The network card is an integrated intel card, (fxp0):
fxp0: flags=8843<UP,BROADCAST,RUNNING,SIMPLEX,MULTICAST> mtu 1500 options=3<RXCSUM,TXCSUM> inet 10.1.10.200 netmask 0xffffff00 broadcast 10.1.10.255 ether 00:20:e0:69:50:3c media: Ethernet autoselect (100baseTX <half-duplex>) status: active
Unfortunatly I can't remember when it started happening. I have been tracking current weekly for the past few months. It certainly seems to be getting worse though.
Any help would be much appriciated.
