I have lost the network connection to my FreeBSD 10 server system.
There was no wired or wireless connection.
There are a lot of messages all over the console screen and in /var/log/messages:
Thousands of them. The system was unresponsive. Nothing seems to have worked. The DHCP server doesn't give leases. All that I could do was to remotely reboot the system by using the IPMI.
ath0 and ath1 are SparkLAN WPEA-127NI (Atheros 9390) 802.11abgn miniPCIe cards.
What could it be and how to debug it?
