        This is a hardwarefailure. You have to start changing equipement to find out what's wrong I guess.

          Seems like it only happends when there is trafic.

          Mar 16 08:29:23 	kernel: dc0: link state changed to DOWN
          Mar 16 01:56:46 	kernel: dc0: link state changed to DOWN
          

          The time that i was sleeping it didnt fail.

          Dunno if this helps.

           LAN interface (dc0)
          Status 	up
          IP address 	192.168.0.1  
          Subnet mask 	255.255.255.0
          Media 	10baseT/UTP
          In/out packets 	2258538/2942016 (633.59 MB/2.52 GB)
          In/out errors 	0/0
          Collisions 	319902
          

          Do i get all those collisions because i use a hub, and not a switch?

            I think you have some autonegotiation issues. You could try to hardcode the interface speed by using hidden config.xml magic. See http://doc.m0n0.ch/handbook-single/#FAQ.hiddenopts for how to set mediaoptions. It's the same for pfSense.

                  You'll always get that with a hub, that's why it's been pretty much impossible to buy one for the last 5+ years ;)

                      If you've always had high collisions then you had a very badly broken switch.  Your other problems (as you've been told, repeatedly) strongly point to broken hardware.
