FreeBSD 9.2 connected with OPENSKY DHCP problems

V

vladi

Hello. From time to time it happens that I can't get DHCP working on my system. It's over one year I use with no problems; but lately, I turn on the "modem" my satellite dish is connected to, turn on the computer, the "modem" logs on the OPENSKY network, and then nothing works. I try to run dhclient to get my IP address. When I run it, it doesn't find any lease; then, I unplug the network cable, run ifconfig dc0 down, plug in the cable, run ifconfig dc0 up, killall dhclients, run manually dhclient dc0, and occasionally it will work out. I can't understand what's going on.

Besides all this, but maybe it has something to do with it, I also get
Code: 
tx buffer underrun, "cannot switch to idle state"
and have hardlocks.

Can somebody shed some light on this all? Thanks, vlad.

Have you tried replacing the cable and perhaps even the network card? It's possible the network card is simply broken.
