fxp0 - Dell 8000 intermittent outage

[C. Kukulies]

I have a Dell Inspiron 8000 (FreeBSD 5.2-current of last year somewhere)
hooked up to a ZyXEL switch (ES-108) and the activity LEDs (yellow/carrier,
green/signal) stop lighting/flashing intermittently (the uplink goes to
a 3COM 3300 switch).

During this it happened that dhclient dumped core. Any ideas?
Could it be a 10/100 Mb negotiation problem? Do I have a dying
network adapter?
