Intermittent 'Tx/Rx shutdown error' on Alix

[ttblum]

Hello,

I have a Netgate Alix 2d13 router.  vr1 WAN connects to a cable modem, vr0 LAN connects directly to a workstation, vr2 OPT1 connects directly to a Cisco Aironet access point.  vr1 and vr2 are bridged together so that the workstation can communicate with the wireless network on the same subnet.

Once in a while, about every 50 days, I get a 'vr_miibus_statchg: Tx/Rx shutdown error – resetting' on vr2 (connected to the Aironet) and the user has to power cycle everything to get up and running again.

Is there anything I should change, such as speed/duplex or flow control to prevent this from happening?
