 I have a Dell 860 with dual onboard NICs that is acting as a webserver. One
 of the NICs is connected directly to another gigabit NIC on a database
 server. Whenever the web server comes under heavy load such that the traffic
 from the database server becomes heavy the link drops for a few seconds
 causing hundreds of database errors from the web server.
 
 I have these errors all over during these peak traffic times:
 
 bge1: watchdog timeout -- resetting
 bge1: link state changed to DOWN
 bge1: link state changed to UP
 
 I get repro several times a week and am willing to provide whatever
 additional information is necessary to fix this.
