>Description:
I have a number of machines that use the Asus A7N8X-E motherboard.
This motherboard has two NICs, a
skc0 at pci1 dev 4 function 0: irq 5
skc0: Yukon Gigabit Ethernet 10/100/1000Base-T Adapter
sk0 at skc0 port A: Ethernet address 00:11:2f:4e:c8:b3
and a
Nvidia Corporation nForce2 Ethernet (ethernet network, revision 0xa1) at pci0
dev 4 function 0 not configured
The sk0 appears to work fine when using it casually, but as soon as
you start transferring data _from_ that machine, the network hangs
completely. This is realiably reproducable, but while other people
have reported a 'ifconfig down; ifconfig up' to work, this does not
seem to be the case here -- I actually have to reboot the machine
to get network connectivity back.
>How-To-Repeat:
Use the hardware, then do something like
tar cvf - /usr/pkg | ssh remotehost "tar xvf -"
>Fix:
Unknown. Additional information I found:
