With FreeBSD 4.8-20030731-STABLE #0, dmesg messages indicate: module_register: module miibus/ukphy already exists! linker_file_sysinit "miibus.ko" failed to register! 17 module_register: module pccard/ed already exists! linker_file_sysinit "if_ed.ko" failed to register! 17 This doesn't look dangerous but the rl0 ethernet card just stopped recieving packets suddenly and I'm trying to track down why. Can anyone tell me why this is happening and should I do anything about it? I have installed 100s of versions of fbsd since 2.2 on this same hardware and this has never happened before. I see this was reported on 7/25/03 but, no follow-up: http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/htdig/freebsd-stable/2003-July/002329.html Thanks. kernel is GENERIC plus the following: ------------------------------------- options IPFIREWALL options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE options IPFIREWALL_FORWARD options IPFIREWALL_VERBOSE_LIMIT=100 options IPFIREWALL_DEFAULT_TO_ACCEPT options IPDIVERT options HZ=1000 options DUMMYNET Dmesg follows: -------------------------------------- bwm# dmesg Copyright (c) 1992-2003 The FreeBSD Project.
