 Hi!
 
 It seems to me i have the same problem:
 watchdog timeout, link bounces DOWN and UP again, but the interface does not recover
 
 I have 2 motherboards ASUSTeK P5M2 /2GBL with two broadcom bcm5721
 interfaces onboard.   (FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE i386+smp)
 
 
 Also i have ASUSTeK PVL-D/2GBL motherboard that have broadcom bcm5721
 NICs onboard too.    (FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE amd64+smp)
 
 With all of this equipment i have the same problem, broadcom NIC hangs
 up while i try to transfer traffic more than just ping with packet
 length 64 bytes.
 
 dmesg says:
 
 bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
 bge0: link state changed to DOWN
 bge0: link state changed to UP
 bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
 bge0: link state changed to DOWN
 bge0: link state changed to UP
 bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
 bge0: link state changed to DOWN
 bge0: link state changed to UP
 bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
 bge0: link state changed to DOWN
 bge0: link state changed to UP
 bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
 bge0: link state changed to DOWN
 bge0: link state changed to UP
 
 
 After that interface have no RX/TX until restart. ifconfig DOWN,UP have no action.
 All patches i've found have no effect!
 
 This happens immediately after reboot, so the interface never actually works.
 i am ready to try patches.
