One of my dataless boxes (pre15) locks up completely, but not in a matter of hours but days. Network was the second bet because I suspected the aha1542 getting rusty. Exchanging the Surecom 301 in wd-mode (which has proven to lose a bit of the hw addr at times) to an SMC Ultra didn't improve anything. Nevertheless, I'll try the arp -s trick now, watching it for a while. Bad luck the box is so dead after the freeze... Could you try 'nice -n -20 ping -f defaultgateway or broadcast-addr' for some minutes and see if it happens? I know, it's mean... It brings down a Surecom of equal type in the server within minutes. Reinit the interface including rm/insmod wd.o won't help. No logs.
Btw, what type of switch/hub/router are you using? > James Thomason Roman. _ _ | Roman Drahtmüller All extremists should | CC University of Freiburg be taken out and shot! | email: draht2@rzlin1.ruf.uni-freiburg.de | - -
