> Is this your bug? > > http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=171121 no, this bge is only used for the ilo, it happens even if it's idling, ie no active connection. it is also very erratic, it happens at random intervals, from 3 hs to 10hs, and the down/up 'hickup' lasts between less than a sec to about 3sec. thanks, danny
