My gigabit nic has gone bad (after months of working just fine  it's

functional gigabit PCI 32 card that runs under 5.4 without issues.  
What works for you?


John


i'm using the same driver and i've already seen the message a few times. 
 some time (a few months?) ago, though, not recently.

i wonder what it might be..

Cards using the RealTek 8169S chipset are cheap (~10 Euro) and are
working without a problem here.

Sorry, but it seems there is some problem with this one.  You can check
the PR database for `if_re' and found kern/68514 or kern/84584.  In
particular, i want to point you to mine: kern/80005.  This problem is
encountered from ~2 year now and was reported to me, privately, by
one other user last week.

The Intel gigabit cards are quite good, 'man em' for details. As a second
choice, i would look in to a Broadcom based card, 'man bge' for that one.

We have had problems with BGE, but have had good luck with intel FXP and EMO, 
but they are expensive.

You get what you pay for.

I have machines with Tigon II (ti), Marvell 88E8001 (sk), i82540 (em),
RTL8169 (re), and BCM5750 (bge) interfaces.  The only ones I've ever
had problems with were the Tigon and Marvell, and the latter was fixed
nearly a year ago.  All except the Tigon and Broadcom are running
under 5-STABLE; the Broadcom is running 6.0b5.

I can't comment on the Level I, Nominal Semidestructor, or VIA chips
as I've never seen any.
