You'll still see impact -- that is, no packets flowing. The reason things are recoverable is solely because of the retry functionality for layer 2 packets... In general, it's not a good thing to have watchdog timeouts. It means the interrupt is hung, or the card is hung. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.
