The change in 4.1 to ether_ifattach() needs a check to see if the device is already attached. calling ether_ifattch() with a device already attached will lock up the system consistently. Dennis To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of

FreeBSD belly up with big config

With 1800 interfaces in the system Freebsd seems to use about 50Mhz of cpu when idle in "interrupts" even when there are no interrupts to process. on a 500Mhz box it uses 10% of the cpu and it seems linear with different speed processors. the 1800 interfaces are 900 DLCIs on a T3 frame with 900
