    I have a strange problem the 3Com cards in my router.
    I had installed 4.8 on a Compaq Deskpro and installed
    to 3Com cards that use the xl driver. Most of the time
    the router works fine, but at random times it would
    stop routing. If I would log into the machine locally
    and ifconfig down and up on the external NIC or reboot
    it would begin to work again for a random period of
    time and then stop again. Until I would do this I
    could not even ping anything. I upgraded to 4.9RC2 but
    the problem still occurred. Now I can only seem to fix
    it for about a minute or so by doing either a reboot
    or the ifconfig commands mentioned above. Another
    strange thing is that when this happens, if I try to
    SSH into the machine’s internal NIC from a machine on
    the local net it takes a long time to display the
    login prompt and then a long time to display the
    password prompt if it displays either at all before
    timing out. I can ping the internal NIC perfectly fine
    though. Does anyone have a clue as to what this could
    be caused by?
