>Description:
    When attempting to use a network card which uses the vr drivers (see vr(4)), after the card is attempted to be initialised (during boot) there is a continuous stream of error messages (once every 30 seconds or so):

vr0: watchdog timeout.

The network card is unusable (ie. cannot connect out and nothing can connect in).
>How-To-Repeat:
    Install a network card which attempts to use the vr driver.
>Fix:
      A workaround which is reported to have worked is by disabling apic -

Booting into Safe Mode (which disabled apic anyway) also works.

 Philip,
 
 I'm sorry seeing your problem report untouched for quite some time now.
 
 Can you please report back if your problem is still valid even with a
 more recent release of FreeBSD (6.3/7.0)?
 
 If it's still a problem, I'm wondering if you can check Pyun's reworked
 vr driver and provide him feedback? For more information about his
 recent work, please have a look at PR kern/109477 which contains URLs
 for patches.
 
 Please give us feedback if your problem is not an issue anymore so we
 can go ahead and close this ticket.
 
 Thanks for reporting!

 Unfortunately, the hardware that was experiencing this issue has since  
 been replaced and I no longer have any hardware that this issue would  
 be applicable to.
 
 Thanks,
 Philip
