Hi, During testing I am noticing watchdog timeouts on alc0 when you unplug the cable from an active interface:
alc0: watchdog timeout (missed link) alc0: watchdog timeout This causes the system to lock temproarily for 5 seconds or so every few seconds. You can plug the cable back in and see: alc0: could not disable RxQ/TxQ (0x00000008)! alc0: could not disable Rx/Tx MAC(0x00000008)! after which the system (and network interface) behaves normally. I have seen this previously and mailed brad some weeks back, as I know he was doing work in this area. I am CCing him now.
