Output of `ifconfig` and `netstat -m` is also helpful. I had this issue too in 3.8 and 3.9, but it is really rare. It happens on both firewalls, and only on the internal interface. I've talked to a few others with the same issue too. Happened about once every few months or so. http://archives.neohapsis.com/archives/openbsd/2006-06/1813.html em1 at pci2 dev 2 function 0 "Intel PRO/1000MT (82546GB)" rev 0x03: irq 9, address 00:04:23:a9:18:06 em2 at pci2 dev 2 function 1 "Intel PRO/1000MT (82546GB)" rev 0x03: irq 9, address 00:04:23:a9:18:07 You'll probably notice the same thing I did (OACTIVE in the output of ifconfig). I couldn't find any patterns though, unfortunately. I know there were some related changes in 4.0 though, so I'm hoping that fixes it. -- Kian Mohageri
