General Questions

Hi list

My system is a stripped IBM Netvista running on a CF. A couple weeks ago I added an opt1 NIC  Intel Pro/1000 (same as my LAN nic) to setup a DMZ.  Yesterday I got around to configuring the system and all appeared be be okay. Shortly thereafter I noticed entries in my logs and the console em1: watchdog timeout resetting

Is this error being generated by M0n0, the NIC, or by the pc and how do I resolve it.

Thanks in advance.

Peter

Rolling M0m0 back to Version: 1.231 seems to have fixed this issue.

Sounds like a driver regression between FreeBSD 4.x and 6.x. No m0n0wall developer is going to fix this, but if you can replicate with a stock FreeBSD 6.2 or 6.3 and report to freebsd-net, it may get resolved.

There may be things you can do to fix this, it could be a BIOS bug that didn't affect the previous drivers but is now a problem so check for a BIOS update, or could be BIOS setting related (make sure PNP OS is off).

Hi Chris
Thanks for the reply. For now I've turned off the NIC. I had planned on upgrading the PC so I may just do that. What have have found odd though is the problem only occurred after I put traffic through the NIC. Low traffic does not trip this error but high http traffic does.
