From looking at the source on 2.2, it indicates that your card is
returning this value (2002) in the status I/O port. This results
in FreeBSD reinitialising the card.
If you switch on diagnostics (options DIAGNOSTIC in your kernel config)
you'll see
ep0: Status: 2002 (input buffer overflow)
It's not my place to say, but you wouldn't catch me buying 3com (not
after the first one I bought anyway) ! Looks like your 3c509 performs
as well as my 3c589 !
Anyway, FreeBSD is reinitialising the card and your application (or
the TCP stack) is recovering from the situation - what's your
throughput ? Does it compare with my staggering 30-100k/s on the
3c589 ? :(
