Network often not responding

[Akhmad Sakirun]

I little bit frustated
after getting no luck with Pyun YongHyeon patch, i run cvsup today and
going to see what happen tomorrow.
It's happen only on bussy hour/work hour but not on afternoon until
morning. it's mean only happen when on maximum/heavy traffic load.
I suspected it's error on motherboard or the system.

now i'm using 2 ethernet using 2 different catalyst switch and 2 different network.
1st ethernet:

em0: <Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection Version - 6.0.5> port 0xa800-0xa83f mem 0xfeaa0000-0xfeabffff,0xfea80000-0xfea9ffff irq 18 at device 3.0 on pci2
em0: Ethernet address: 00:e0:81:31:af:ca
em0: [FAST]

2nd ethernet:
xl0: <3Com 3c905B-TX Fast Etherlink XL> port 0xa880-0xa8ff mem 0xfeafec00-0xfeafec7f irq 19 at device 7.0 on pci2
miibus0: <MII bus> on xl0
xlphy0: <3Com internal media interface> on miibus0
xlphy0:  10baseT, 10baseT-FDX, 100baseTX, 100baseTX-FDX, auto
xl0: Ethernet address: 00:10:5a:0d:c1:45

Best regards,
