Hello everybody,
thanks to all for your responses !
I have a laptop and a desktop. They have an 8169 NIC realtek... And
these 2 machines freeze.
When i disabling these NIC, i have no problems.
In this page http://www.openbsd.org/i386.html, the chipset 8169 is not
written. I think it doesn't work 'well'.
So, in my laptop, I use wifi, and in the desktop, i bought another NIC :-)
Thanks to everybody who help me !
Nicolas

Salut ;)
I have the very same problem on my laptop (running 4.2) and I've
discovered that the freezings stop if I'm not using the built-in NIC
(Realtek Gigabit 8169) but use an USB wifi adapter instead. If you also
have a Realtek, maybe it could be due to a bug in the re driver ?

Are you sure about what you are saying ?
I have already a laptop with this NIC and I have this problem;
It means that there is a bug with gigabit realtek 8169 ?

That's what I saw on mine, anyway. Try to boot it without using using
the NIC (i.e. delete /etc/hostname.re0) and see if the freezes stop.

I see the re(4) hanging my machine problem too.
There are at least three open bug reports related to re hanging when
used at gigabit speeds. You might try forcing it to 100baseTX.
