After an hour or so of traffic on my nic the kernel reports rx error: unknown rx error. after that the stack is broken and the machine must be rebooted before any traffic can leave the machine. The machine is a PC with a celeron, a DFI M/B with an intel chipset, the nic is a miibus/rhine compatible DLINK 530TX. My network is just 2 back to back fbsd boxes. They both have the same DLINK in them but my second machine is running fbsd 3.4R. The 3.4 machine has never had any problems. Fix: not known. How-To-Repeat: ~60 minutes of semi-constant NFS(udp), web and other misc traffic across VR0
State Changed From-To: open->feedback Does this problem still occur in newer versions of FreeBSD, such as 4.3-RELEASE?
State Changed From-To: feedback->closed Problem was hardware related; see Audit-Trail for details.
