Hello,

i am seeing a problem with 5.0-current (from 14.12.00) and a 3COM
3CCFE575CT Lancard (pc-cardbus) using the xl-driver. It goes as follows:

I am using the 3COM-card in a 10MB-switched network. Occasionally 
someone is doing big network installs via multicast IP-packets. This
is done with almost the full 10MB-Bandwidth. On all the other computers
I have, I do see a big network-performance degration during that times,
but they are still somewhat usable. This is true for HPUX 10.20 , 11.0
and NT 4.0 machines. My Laptop (HP OB4150) unfortunately is network-
wise totally blocked during these times. In addition I am getting 
messages like:

xl0: watchdog timeout
xl0: watchdog timeout
xl0: no carrier - transceiver cable problem?
xl0: watchdog timeout
xl0: watchdog timeout
xl0: no carrier - transceiver cable problem?

Why behaves my FreeBSD-machines worse then the other boxes? Any Ideas?

TIA

Michael


Attached are the Kernel-Config-file and the dmesg output.
