A RELENG_6 box from Feb 7th is seeing a few more
bge0: watchdog timeout -- resetting
bge0: link state changed to DOWN
bge0: link state changed to UP
errors since updating from the sources a few months ago. The box
does dedicated DNS resolution for clients, so it sees a lot of small
packets. The load avg is not that high and does not seem to
correlate with the watchdog timeouts. Any ideas what might be the
cause of it ? Doesnt seem to be cables and we tried a new switch
port. The NIC is onboard
