Same one I have here:
fxp0 at pci0 dev 9 function 0: i82558 Ethernet, rev 5
fxp0: interrupting at irq 10
fxp0: Enabling receiver lock-up workaround
fxp0: Ethernet address 00:50:ba:00:00:33
inphy0 at fxp0 phy 1: i82555 10/100 media interface, rev. 0

My revision of if_fxp_pci.c is newer than yours, but still has the
problem...

I have no idea what to do about it though... I just leave a ping 192.168.1.3
running on my nat machine, as (regular enough, ie every second) activity on=
the
interface keeps it from dropping off.
