hi
maybe a stupid hint but did you checked the TP cable and pin order? I often
saw such problems when a gigabit connected to an older /10 HUB or when using
incorrect pin orders on the cables or even to long cables
I will ask person to check the cables.
Appearently the sk down events are gone on my server with Pyun's patched
drivers, did you checked if you compiled with them in the right place?
I put sk drivers in /usr/src/sys/pci and compiled and installed kernel again.
My servers are now almost 24h up with the new sk driver and none of them is
having the problem any more until now. Until this I had crontab run "ifconfig
sk0 up" all 10 minutes what helped me so long.
ifconffig sk0 up might be the solution until I find the problem.
On my SMP system when sk stopped it caused also watchdog timeout on all other
NICs, on UP kernel not.
This system is SMP system, so I guess that is why fxp is timing out too.
Do you use interface polling? Check with vmstat -i because you may have
overlapping IRQs and you cards may not support it. Look into the MB manual
and see which pci slots are shared and don't use them or try another bios
setting. What MB you are using?
It is not using polling. I should ask the person to check the MB.
gw# vmstat -i

you may try ifconfig fxp link0 to load its microcode which could help but in
my opinion and experience the fxp cards are bad when using more than one and
I through them all out but interesting is that they work well on until
releng_5, btw the sk also works well on releng_5
Yes, I have at least several machines running
FreeBSD-5.3 with 2 fxp cards and they seem to be OK.
Also I have another 2 FreeBSD 6.0 machine with 2
fxp NIC and they are also fine.
I tried onboard pcn card:
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:9:0: class=0x020000 card=0x20001014
chip=0x20001022 rev=0x36 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Advanced Micro Devices (AMD)'
device = 'Am79C970/1/2/3/5/6 PCnet LANCE PCI Ethernet Controller'
class = network
subclass = ethernet
However system crashes after connecting the
cable. After reboot it is the same, crashes.
