Hello forum!
I have a USB gigabit ethernet adapter with ASIX Electronics AX88178 chip supported by the axe(4) driver in FreeBSD 8 (RC2).
It works, but not for long. After some serious traffic (~50Mbps) it just freezes with no more packets being received or sent. The only thing to make it work again it to re-plug the device or use a usbreset command.
Googling on the problem i found this mailinglist thread:
http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-current/2009-April/005738.html
However, there doesn't seem to be a single conclusion. Even though my product ("Belkin F5D5055") seems to be supported according to the axe(4) manpage, it doesn't get detected as such, rather with a vendor id. Quoting dmesg output:
I'm on FreeBSD 8.0RC2 amd64 this time. Are there any suggestions i could try to make this driver work without freezing?
Thanks in advance,
