    Intel Etherexpress 10/100 using the fxp driver and some other brand X
    card using the rl (RealTek) driver. Interestingly disabling ACPI seemed
    to lengthen the time between failures by a day or so, but it still failed.

    It's been running for a week now without a problem by setting
    debug.mpsafenet="0" in loader.conf.

    Are you using any oddball protocols or devices?

    Carl.
