fxp floods network on panic
I have an up to date SMP machine with an Intel 10/100 card and fxp driver. The machine has started to panic during running make release, and when it does, the intel card floods the network and pretty much wipes it out. ie no machines on the same switch can even ping each other. The switch is lit up like a christmas tree, and rebooting the box immediately brings the network to life. The machine is hung solid, so even though I have serial access to it, I cant reboot it to clear the condition. I seem to remember that the Intel card can go into some sort of test mode on a panic. Is there any way of preventing this? Or did I just imagine that?
