Re: Which motherboards work well with em(4)?

started transferring the same lot of data to another folder on the samba share and very soon after it wedged. Basically completely unpredictable. :( Thanks. -- Cheers, Chris Howells -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] Web: http://www.kde.org.uk, PGP ID: 0x33795A2C KDE/Qt Developer: http://www.kde.org

Re: Which motherboards work well with em(4)?

ds like a good idea especially if it's had lots of improvements. I'll give that a go in a day or two hopefully. It also occurred to me that I haven't experimented with polling, so I'm doing that now on one of the machines. Thanks. -- Cheers, Chris Howells --

Which motherboards work well with em(4)?

the rest of the specifications though price is quite important (don't want onboard RAID or SCSI or anything fancy). Thanks for any advice. [1 - I've tried everything: various patches; FreeBSD 4, 5 and 6; changing the interrupt mode in the BIOS from ACIC to PIC; disabling ACPI...] -- Cheers

Re: em(4) receive part wedging randomly at moderate load

y from intel? It can be found on the Intel web site. A few people on freebsd-stable are claiming that it works perfectly. I have noticed that having something like this in sysctl.conf helps to reduce the frequency of it happening: kern.ipc.somaxconn=1024 net.inet.udp.recvspace=65536 net.inet.tc
