Hello,

I'm running -current from 23.03.09 and I'm experiencing some axe(4)  
problems.
Basically the network connection works but when some more serious  
traffic hits the
interface (i.e. torrent download) it then dies, ifconfig down/up
does not help, only replugging of the adapter.

I've tried running with hw.usb2.axe.debug=15 and the output was many  
lines of:

    axe_bulk_write_callback:853: transfer complete

then a pause of several seconds and the kernel begins to print :

    axe_bulk_write_callback:925: transfer error, USB_ERR_TIMEOUT

Another strange thing that I noticed is that, while the interface  
seems to be
connected and working, if I type many times ifconfig ue0 consecutively
most of the time it would show different settings for the auto  
negotiated link.
I.e. it would cycle between 100baseTX-FDX, 1000baseT-FDX, no carrier,
100BaseT-FDX hw-loopback and 1000BaseT-FDX hw-loopback.

The switch does not seem to register link flaps.

The kernel messages for the interface are :

    ugen2.5: <Belkin Components> at usbus2
    axe0: <Belkin Components F5D5055, rev 2.00/0.01, addr 5> on usbus2
    axe0: PHYADDR 0xe0:0x01

1000baseT, 1000baseT-FDX, auto
