How many times you have seen this error? Let's take it as N line 433 in /usr/src/sys/dev/netif/xl/if_xlreg.h #define XL_MIN_FRAMELEN 60 Say N == 3, then change above line to (3 + 1) * 60, i.e. #define XL_MIN_FRAMELEN 240 But keep it less then 1540 See whether the problem still plagues you Best Regards, sephe -- Live Free or Die
