In my case I was seeing other issues with the NIC (it would periodically "freeze" spewing a constant stream of pause frames onto the LAN and refusing to receive more frames), so I already suspected it of being an issue. When I turned off flow control so it wouldn't freeze, it started corrupting the packets instead. Without that kind of smoking gun I would probably have had a hard time figuring out the issue. I would try switching various parts out to see if you can narrow the issue down to a single component. -- John Baldwin _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
