After the last update (11th December 2008) I have noticed the
following
strange behaviour on at least two machines (identical hard- and
software):
After weeks of flawless operation, the network connection on both
interfaces suddenly starts to mangle packages. Even a simple ping
can show
up to 50% or so package loss. The machine is mostly unreachable via
net.
ifconfig up/down did not cure this, turning off checksum-offloading
and stuff did not help. Even simply rebooting the machine did not
make the
problem go away! I had to power-cycle them by unplugging all cables
to get
back to normal operation.
I've seen a similar, but fully reproducible behavior on this ethernet
hardware. It turned out to be not a problem of the driver:

Is it
possible to use if_re from head as drop-in replacement to test the
patches
available after 12/09?
The other way, using an older if_re, worked by replacing sys/dev/re/
if_re.c, sys/pci/if_rlreg.h and sys/pci/if_rl.c, so the answer ist
likely "yes".
