Hi all,
I'm not sure if this is a kernel bug or something I'm doing wrong but here
goes. I have a Linux ethernet bridge setup to connect multiple machines on
eth0 to my internet gateway on eth1. During heavy load on the bridge, the
following messages appear in dmesg.
3c59x.c:v0.99H 11/17/98 Donald Becker
http://cesdis.gsfc.nasa.gov/linux/drivers/vortex.html
eth0: 3Com 3c905B Cyclone 100baseTx at 0xd000, 00:50:da:1a:f3:9f, IRQ 11
8K byte-wide RAM 5:3 Rx:Tx split, autoselect/10baseT interface.
Media override to transceiver type 4 (100baseTX).
Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame receives.
eth0: Overriding PCI latency timer (CFLT) setting of 0, new value is 32.
eth0: Setting promiscuous mode.
device eth0 entered promiscuous mode
eth1: 3c509 at 0x300 tag 1, 10baseT port, address 00 20 af 3a a1 ab, IRQ
12.
3c509.c:1.16 (2.2) 2/3/98 [EMAIL PROTECTED]
eth1: Setting Rx mode to 1 addresses.
device eth1 entered promiscuous mode
br: enabling bridging function
eth1: Infinite loop in interrupt, status 2003.
eth1: transmit timed out, Tx_status 00 status 2013 Tx FIFO room 1484.
Everything before the infinite loop is just bootup stuff. After this error,
eth1 is inaccessable however traffic to and from eth0 still works fine.
Any ideas?
Note: System only has 8mb of ram 32mb swap. The error is most appairent
when things start swapping out. Could this be the problem?
Note2: Device eth0 (a 3com 3c905) and eth1 (a 3c509) are both compiled as
modules. eth0 is being forced into 100mbit mode as the lan is 100mbit. The
machine is a 100mbit to 10mbit bridge.
REgards,
Shane
