FreeBSD 6.3-stable and if_re - stability problems?
Hello!
Is anybody having stability problems with if_re under FreeBSD
6.3-stable?
I know about PR kern/118719[1] but it doesn't look like the problem I'm
having - at least my machine doesn't panic.
My machine[2] runs FreeBSD 6.3-stable / amd64:
root@kg-vm# uname -a
FreeBSD kg-vm.kg4.no 6.3-STABLE FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE #1: Sun Jan 27 02:10:15 CET
2008 root@kg-vm.kg4.no:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/SMP amd64
The machine has an if_re interface:
root@kg-vm# pciconf -lv | grep -B 4 network
subclass = VGA
re0@pci2:0:0: class=0x020000 card=0x81aa1043 chip=0x816810ec rev=0x01 hdr=0x00
vendor = 'Realtek Semiconductor'
device = 'RTL8168/8111 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet NIC'
class = network
It looks like the interface works, because it gets the ip
address and other dhcp parameters right. But when I try to pass traffic
over it, trsffic often just stops. Examples: ping by ip address,
csup'ing the ports. also ssh connections to the machine randomly hangs, or
closes.
Ouch! The machine just rebooted. Perhaps this is kern/118719 after all.
Anything I can do to diagnose this problem further?
FWIW, I have FreeBSD 7.0 (RELENG_7) installed on another slice and that works
nicely.

Anything I can do to diagnose this problem further?forget about the reboot - it was caused by my attempt at a workaround (using a if_ural interface connectec to a usb port. This will reliably panic the machine after some amount of data has flowed through the interface). -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen

It is only &.3 that has problems with re(4). -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen
