fxp device timeout

Hello all,

I have already posted this message to freebsd-stable, but there was no reply
up to now.



I have a 2*PentiumPro200 PC with FreeBSD 5.3 acting as a firewall in a
department network. 
The PC has both IDE and SCSI hard drives.
(Quite strange system for a firewall, isn't it? However, it was the most
suitable box I was able to find).

It has 3 NICs xl0,fxp0 and fxp1. 
>From time to time both fxp's SIMULTANEOUSLY stop working and produce
messages fxp*: device timeout. 

After doing ifconfig fxp* down&up it said 
Dec 22 19:22:13 firewall kernel: fxp1: SCB timeout: 0x70 0x0 0x50 0x0 
Dec 22 19:22:13 firewall kernel: fxp1: SCB timeout: 0x20 0x0 0x50 0x0 
Dec 22 19:22:23 firewall last message repeated 53 times 
Dec 22 19:22:23 firewall kernel: fxp0: SCB timeout: 0x70 0x0 0x50 0x0 
Dec 22 19:22:23 firewall kernel: fxp1: SCB timeout: 0x20 0x0 0x50 0x0

The system resumes normal operation only after reboot.

xl0 does not experience any problems.

Does anybody know how to avoid this?



Many thanks in advance.
