Good day!
I have a machine which have 2 NICS and works as NAT, firewall etc. One card is on-board ae0 and one PCI rl0. Unfortunatelly motherboard has only one PCI slot, so I can't install PCI card instead of using on-board ae0. The only device which is hooked to ae0 is ADSL modem in bridge mode (using crossover cable, ppp link is handled by mpd).
After running about a half an year on 8.0 I'm started to receive errors like this:
After this interface became unresponsible and I have to 'ifconfig down' and 'ifconfig up' it. This is always happend under light load (on weekend, at night) and never under high load.
I've tried:
- replacing cable between ae0 and ADSL modem with brand new gigabit-ready cable
- upgrading to 8.1 with GENERIC kernel
Thanks for any advices!
