I've been using 6.1-R on a PE1950 for some time now. The stock bce driver doesn't work at all. I dug up a driver off the web (0.9.6) that worked fine with my workload (basically all TCP) but in talking to Scott I discovered that UDP traffic was a problem for this driver. Some time ago I upgraded to the driver in -STABLE. This driver also appears to work fine, but about once a day I get the following:
Nov 29 01:16:47 server2 kernel: bce1: /usr/src/sys/dev/bce/if_bce.c(5000): Watch dog timeout occurred, resetting! Nov 29 01:16:47 server2 kernel: bce1: link state changed to DOWN Nov 29 01:16:48 server2 kernel: bce1: link state changed to UP Pretty minor complaint, as it doesn't really affect the operation of the box, but I suppose it's a sign that there's still some work to be done. $FreeBSD: src/sys/dev/bce/if_bce.c,v 1.2.2.6 2006/10/24 As I write this I see there has been some further work on the driver, so I think I'll upgrade it and see what happens. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
