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

Hi Ben,
googeling for msk or msk0 will bring you the information that the driver
for your NIC is buggy (or the quality of the NIC opr chipset is scrap).
Take a good NIC und you won't have the problems.
bye
Christoph
