I don't believe that this is fixed in later versions of the driver. The problem is that when the interface loses link the transmit queue can fill up. Once that happens the driver never gets any more calls from the network stack to make it send packets. Pinging the interface fixes it because the driver processes rx.and tx from the same context, so when it receives a packet it starts transmitting again.
The patch that I sent fixes the problem by forcing the driver to process the tx queue when ever links goes from down to up. _______________________________________________ freebsd-net@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-net To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-net-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
