Feb 23 20:55:50  kernel: vr0: Ethernet address: 00:30:1b:81:02:96

and, somewhat later:

Feb 23 20:55:54  kernel: vr0: watchdog timeout

I can do a "ping 192.168.42.21" but I can not reach any other machine on the subnet. I have verified that it's neither a hardware nor a cable problem. It works fine with a NetBSD installation. By the way, the FreeBSD and the NetBSD if_vr.c driver are derived from the same original source, but have evolved since then.

I have build a custom kernel specific for my hardware with if_vr.ko as a loadable module and I am willing to assist in bug fixing, if my time allows. I have some experience in writing a device driver but do not know anything about the via rhine chips.

>How-To-Repeat:
The problem can easyly be repeated both with the GENERIC kernel and a custom kernel that uses if_vr.ko as a loadable module. Then the messages show up after "kldload if_vr.ko".
