Hi folks,

I'm using NetBSD 3 Stable on my i386 PC, Kernel as follows:

NetBSD 3.0_STABLE (GENERIC) #0: Fri Jun 16 00:31:36 BST 2006

I guess I probably compiled this within a couple of days of cvs 
updating, making this kernel pretty much 3 weeks old.

I am getting the following messages as part of my dmesg output, and am 
able to see additional occurences of this message on the console:

nfe0: watchdog timeout

At each point I observe this error, it is during usage of the network 
for smallish packets (streaming mp3 playback, email etc from my server), 
and each occurence of the error seems to coincide with a network 
connection reset visible on my switch.

I have done a search on the web for this error, which has identified 
these issues for FreeBSD and OpenBSD, and patches have been generated 
(it seems).

The link to one such article is 
http://archive.netbsd.se/?ml=freebsd-amd64&a=2006-04&t=1965995

Seeing as this seems to be a known error of sorts, is there any such 
patch available, and is it likely to be brought up into STABLE?

Thanks

Steve
