The network remains up as a concurrently executing ping has no problem and I can restart the FTP transfer which will happily transfer an random number of packets before halting again. I also noticed a nasty memory leak associated with this -- if I rerun the FTP transfer enough times the system will run out of memory. It may be related to lost RX packets. The RX error count seen from "ifconfig" adds up very quickly on a put. FTP get doesn't provoke this bug nearly as much. I'm looking into the driver, though I am quite unfamiliar with Linux networking kernel code. -- David Wolfe Digital Audio, Radio & Telematics Freescale Semiconductor ** Sent via the linuxppc-embedded mail list.
