2.4.5-ac14: machine responds to _every fifth_ ping!
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hash: SHA1 Dear all, I am using a box with 2.4.5-ac14, 3c59x eth0 driver, 3c905C network card. When working with it, the network has been behaving ok. Now I ping it from a remote location, and I see the following strange effect: After a few seconds, only every fifth ping gets back! (quite exactly, reproducible). Ping output attached. Another box on the same hub responds totally normal, so it is no network congestion. I cannot ssh in at the moment, unfortunately. I tried several different ping source machines, running 2.2.14(SuSE71), 2.2.14 SMP (vanilla+int.crypto), 2.2.19, and a SPARCstation - they all give basically the same result. (Well, besides the target machine is one of these still constantly logging "clock timer configuration lost - probably a VIA686a motherboard".) lspci: 00:00.0 Host bridge: Acer Laboratories Inc.
