I started having the same problem with my LNE100TX and switched it 
out with another LNE100TX and had the same problem.  Figured it was 
my BP6 SMP motherboard and ordered a new computer. Doh. :-)

Using 2.4.2-ac20.
Current LNE100TX having problems (other is different Rev):
  Lite-On Communications Inc LNE100TX (rev 20)

The first card would get "unexpected IRQ trap at vector d0" before 
dying whereas the second one didn't give that indication.  It would 
just freeze and the traditional "NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit 
timed out" message.

RE: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out on LNE100TX 4.0, kernel2.4.2-ac11 and earlier.

2001-03-20 Thread Manuel A. McLure

I'd looked for changes in tulip between 2.4.2-ac11 and 2.4.2-ac20 and hadn't
seen any - that's why I hadn't updated. I gather that the change in question
is at a higher level?

Anyway, I've upgraded to 2.4.2-ac20 and now I still get the error messages:

Mar 20 14:35:52 ulthar kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
Mar 20 14:35:52 ulthar kernel: eth0: Transmit timed out, status fc664010,
CSR12
, resetting...

but instead of hanging completely the connection just gets extremely slow
and "bursty" as shown by the following fragment of ping output:

So the behavior is quite a bit better (at least I can telnet in to
ifdown/ifup) but still not OK. Once again, ifdown/ifup makes things work OK.

Thanks!

Can you please try 2.4.2-ac20?  It includes fixes specifically for this
problem.
