So, any idea how I should go into debugging this? I have no much experience in debugging, and none at all in network debugging. debug=16 was repeating things like .. Mar 24 18:05:34 localhost kernel: eth0: tx done, up to 184 Mar 24 18:05:34 localhost kernel: sky2 eth0: rx slot 138 status 0x59a0100 len 14 .. were they any helpfull? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe netdev" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
