Just had a weird thing this afternoon.
Onboard re0 interface, on a GigaByte MB (probably approaching 10 yrs old), been working fine for a while, all of a sudden lost it's mind.
Been chugging along renewing dhcp every hour, then about 12:50pm EDT link went down. Physical connection was still there, re0 to a netgear gst108 switch, netgear switch to pfSense box. Other systems connected to the switch work fine.
Only indication I see is in /var/log/messages saying "re0: link down" and then subsequent DHCP renewals failing until I noticed and rebooted.
Reboot everything came up fine, but yes now I'm monitoring it.
So the question is:
What are your recommendations for a PCIe-X1 network card? Internal home network is basically 1Gb, not feeling like trying to upgrade everything to 10G.
Obviously it has to be something supported by FreeBSD, 13.2.
Thanks for the suggestions.
