Dear list,

A few days ago one of my machines were attacked by a DDoS-attack using UDP
on random ports.. When I later on analyzed the logs, I found this in my
dmesg:

xl0: initialization of the rx ring failed (55)
xl0: initialization of the rx ring failed (55)
xl0: initialization of the rx ring failed (55)

I tried to find out on google what it ment, but without any luck. What
does that mean and how can I correct it (if it's a problem of course).


Best regards, Jesper Wallin

It means that we have a bug in the xl driver, probably nothing too serious. Were there any other xl0 related messages, like "watchdog timeout"?


My guess is that we have a problem under high traffic conditions, and the DDoS would qualify as that.
