Hi,

I've such a problem with several different network cards. Indeed, trying to
make a CBQ/bridged computer (FreeBSD 3.2R + ALTQ 1.2) with NE2000 (ed)
compatible cards, Digital 21041 (de) and even 3Com 3C905TX (xl devices), my
computer traps (memory page allocation fault)  and reboots violently (just
before rebooting, I've such a message : 'kernel message : unmuting interface
XX').

This happens when I stress up my network (flooding it with ICMP packets for
example). The bridge works perfectly well, but not with CBQ enabled (see
problem above).

Has somebody managed to make such a configuration work?

Thanks by advance ...
