Evening folks,
I've been having some problems with the Marvell Yukon 10/100/1000baseT NIC on
my Asus P4P800-E Deluxe 800FSB motherboard, where the sk0 would suddenly just
stop responding and I needed to reboot the box to regain the NIC.
After searching the web, the closes I could come was this URL:
http://www.mail-archive.com/freebsd-net%40freebsd.org/msg11553.html
Different motherboard series (the thread refers to AMD CPu boards), but same
NIC issue and driver.
I'm currently running FreeBSD 5.2.1-RELEASE with a current src+ports pull as
of yesterday evening.
I don't get the watchdog timeout errors, it just stops responding which forces
a reboot since it never comes back. The timing of the NIC death is
intermittent and follows no set pattern. Loads don't do it, nor light
traffic. At the time of this writing, I was actually using vi to edit a
remote kernel config file with only IPv6 IRC going. Other times it's been a
local ftp or inter-machine scp, and still others, just a simple mail check.
Anyone working on this issue or aware of a solution?
