Hello, In january of this year I mentioned a problem with the Linux kernel driver for VIA Rhine ethernet chips. (see http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/1/15/47) In the mean time this bug was reproduced quite a number of times on my Fedora Core 3 (then)/4 (now) box (a VIA CL6000).
An alternative driver by VIA was used (with kernel 2.6.1x, http://www.viaarena.com/downloads/Source/rhinefet.tgz); this VIA driver did not have the Oversized ethernet frame bug but consumes quite a lot of CPU when transfering a steady stream of a few 1000 KB/S, so it is no good solution. Since the ethernet connection goes down due to this bug I think I can mark the bug as critical. The bug is still present in 2.6.12. The maintainer of the driver cannot fix the bug. Who can? Please post here and/or email me with your thoughts about a solution, ways of fixing the bug. Would a small reward help?
