This might be an issue, which needs to be fixed upstream. Could you please install one of the snapshots (from trunk): http://wiki.debian.org/DebianKernel If you can reproduce the error with this kernel, please file a bug at http://bugzilla.kernel.org Did you report this upstream or has it been fixed in more recent kernels?

Experiencing loss of ethernet connectivity (100% packet loss) after a random amount of time. Have tried running bmac as both in-kernel and as a module. Running as a module seems to lengthen the delay before loss of connectivity occurs. I am clueless as to how to diagnose this problem and would appreciate any help. Unfortunately this driver doesn't support the usual diagnostic interfaces, so there's not much I can suggest. Which kernel version are you seeing this on, and was there an earlier kernel version that did not have this problem? I'm seeing this on 2.6.29. The only other kernel version tried on the system was the one on the Debian Installer CD (2.6.26 I believe). While I didn't experience the problem on 2.6.26, the system was never running that kernel for prolonged periods of time, so I can't really say if the problem exists there or not. Would it be helpful if I compiled up an earlier version kernel and which one would you suggest? You could try installing and running kernel version 2.6.26 from lenny for a while. The only kind of diagnostic input I can provide is that I was connected to the box over SSH (using PuTTY from a Windows box) once the network went down, and the error PuTTY gave me was Incorrect MAC received on packet This implies some sort of data corruption, though that should usually be detected and corrected by TCP. If this happens again, please run ifconfig, save the output to a file, and send it to this bug. This should show some useful statistics (assuming the driver updates them properly, which I haven't checked).
