[comp.sys.mips] if_enp0: died and restarted

sun@ME.UTORONTO.CA (Andy Sun) (05/18/91)

The following message appeared periodically in the console log file:

		unix: if_enp0 died and restarted

Does anybody know what's the implication of this? Sometimes, the machine
will hang up for an extended period of time (2 hours) before resuming
communications (does not accept ftp, telnet, rlogin; does not respond to
ping from another machine). I couldn't seem to find anything for if_enp0
in the manuals. I am pretty sure that it's not the Ethernet controller
itself (I stuck another one in with the same result). The machine is
an M/1000 running RISC/os 4.51.
