i'm using 2.1-BETA0 (i386) [built on Fri Jul 13 19:59:57 EDT 2012] and have had two occasions so far in which the external interface has effectively died, but appears ok in the output of ifconfig. it still has an address [dhcp], but is not able to ping its gateway, etc. using ifconfig to bring the interface down and back up does not solve the problem. so far i've not been able to find any method other than rebooting that brings it back to life. in system.log, i see the following messages which i believe may correlate to the event:
Jul 28 22:46:43 gw1 kernel: msk0: watchdog timeout Jul 28 22:46:43 gw1 kernel: msk0: prefetch unit stuck? Jul 28 22:46:43 gw1 kernel: msk0: initialization failed: no memory for Rx buffers lastly, while it may be purely coincidence, it happens that on both occasions i was watching a streaming movie via netflix. where else can i look, or what can i do to find more clues about what is happening and why? thanks -ben _______________________________________________ List mailing list [email protected] http://lists.pfsense.org/mailman/listinfo/list
