why you "had to" disable ACPI. i never ever seen network problems with
ACPI. basically it works, or it doesn't at all.
When the server is idle with ACPI enabled, it did not respond to ping
after a short period. With ACPI disabled, this was alleviated. So,
basically, it will stop working after a while. My guess is that ACPI
will shut down the power for the NIC. But that is only a guess.
Furthermore, when ACPI is disabled, no network problem arises. This
suggests, at least to me, that ACPI is somehow involved.
gets very warm as everything (presumably) is running at full throttle.
Is there any way to disable the ACPI partially, i.e. allow spin-down
for disks etc, but keep the NICs running?
This is IMHO not about FreeBSD support of ACPI but possible BIOS
settings that turn on some kind of hibernation.
Each and every power saving function in the BIOS is disabled.
Nevertheless, I believe that a selective ACPI configuration should
resolve this issue,
Hope that this question was understandable. Thanks.
