>Description:
Using FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE on the new Dell 1950 Dual Core Xeon servers causes the network interface to crash when attempting heavy network usage:

When compiling source from ports mounted on an amd mounted NFS mount the network interfaces will crashes within a few seconds, returning:

bce0: /usr/src/sys/dev/bce/if_bce.c(5003): Watchdog timeout occurred, resetting!

to /var/log/messages
>How-To-Repeat:
Configure amd to auto-mount a directory on a remote machine that contains a ports tree. Create a sybolic link from /usr/ports to the newly mouonted remoted ports tree. `cd` to (for example) /usr/ports/databases/postgresql81-server/ and run `make install`

Within a few seconds all network connections will be lost and the following error will be reported to /var/log/messages:

bce0: /usr/src/sys/dev/bce/if_bce.c(5003): Watchdog timeout occurred, resetting!

Hi, 
Not familiar with this part but have informed other committers who 
have worked on bce(4). In the meantime why not try some of these 
suggestions and see if they help?
