Hi,
I'm getting "re0: watchdog timeout" and "re1: watchdog timeout" errors on one gateway server. That 1U machine has 5 Realtek 8139C+ NIC-s..
When timeout occures, the network stops for about 5-10 seconds and then starts working again. It seems to depend on network load, higher load produces more stops.
I found following link: http://groups.google.com/group/muc.lists.freebsd.bugs/browse_thread/thread/ba509d216f6b30e6/e84e76306f6c6249?lnk=st&q=freebsd+watchdog+timeout+re0&rnum=1&hl=en#e84e76306f6c6249
It basically says that 8139C+ works with the older rl driver too.
So what's the proper way of forcing system to use rl driver instead on re? What's the probality of getting 8139C+ to work with rl on 6.0 RELEASE?
