I upgraded my local machine to the above revision a few days ago. Since then I have seen the local em0 card locking up and getting he following messages in dmesg em0: Watchdog timeout -- resetting em0: link state changed to DOWN em0: link state changed to UP I thought it was the physical card, but I have swapped this out for a completely different one and the problems remain. Am am concerned as we run a lot of em0 cards in production and started upgrading those too, as I had not associated the problem with the software upgrade until just now. Any siggestions ? Am reluctant to start rolling this back, and it is only showing up on one machine for now - is anyone else seeing this ? -pete.

If you use r303832, this is CURRENT (12.x) ? Then maybe the question should be discussed on current at freebsd.org. -- pi at opsec.eu +49 171 3101372 4 years to go !
Bit more testing on this, and I think it was a false alarm and my problem was actually hardware related. Moving to a different PCI slot stopped the problem happening. The original ethernet card is now dead however, and the slow has burn marks on it - which makes me think ,it isnt software really ;) Appologies for the noise, it just coincided with an upgrade and I didnt expect the slot to be at fault after trying three cards (though that was the logical next step) -pete.
