Re: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out
You are correct on both counts. The card cost about $5.00, too, but it was a combo card and so I felt obliged. What is going on? Should I rebuild the kernel?

Re: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out
I have two cards in this machine. Both are ne2000 clones (PCI), one is a winbond on eth0 and the other a realtek 8029 (chip name) on eth1. These messages began only after I added the realtek card. Would it make a difference that the realtek card is on a subnet that usually has no activity on it, since there is only one computer on the subnet besides my two NIC router and that computer is usually turned off. You may ask why I buy all these NE2000 clones? That's what I get for buying stuff at CompUSA. But, alas, they are cheap and easy, and sometimes I like that.

Re: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out
You will need to recompile the kernel, that much is guarenteed. What you are experiencing is apparently a known problem with NE-2000 ( clones) NICs. First, unless you are running an SMP box, you don't need APIC in your kernel. So, turn that off. If you actually do have an SMP box, then stop using crappy cheap NICs :) Most likely turning off APIC in the kernel will resolve the issue. BTW, i'm not about to pretend that i'm some all-knowing genius who knows about random quirks in random hardware. THe only reason i knew this was by plugging the error (in the email SUBJECT line, minus the 'eth1') into http://groups.google.com and reading what others had experienced. Don't believe the fools who claim that usenet is dead. It still brims with useful information. --- Joel Hammer [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: I have two cards in this machine.
