watchdog network card

[Michel Le Cocq]

I Jas

I have the same type of trouble on a gigabythe motherboard with an 
onboard ethernet card.
I run FreeBSD 6.0 but after 20 seconds ~ the card go Up again.
Before I was under 5.4 and I don't remember a such trouble.

The only thing I sugest before the correction is to add a PCI card :-(
