Hija,
I just discovered that the interface doesn't account outgoing bytes, so
although I'm shoveling GBs over NFS to another machine, ifconfig and
/proc/net/dev both state that the card hasn't transmitted anything:
eth2 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:08:01:a3:64:97,
inet addr:192.168.11.2 Bcast:192.168.11.255 Mask:255.255.255.0
UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST MTU:1500 Metric:1
RX packets:297638 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:1334930 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
collisions:0 txqueuelen:1000
RX bytes:45831863 (43.7 MiB) TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)
Interrupt:4 Base address:0xff00
Furthermore the performance is really scary slow: I'm not even getting
100Base-T speeds from an Athlon XP to my G4 PowerBook under MacOS X over
a PtP connection.
What is interesting though is that the machine produces interrupt errors
which only occur when the card is active:
CPU0
0: 110545371 XT-PIC timer
1: 2 XT-PIC keyboard
2: 0 XT-PIC cascade
3: 35665 XT-PIC ohci1394
4: 4314949 XT-PIC eth2
8: 4 XT-PIC rtc
12: 87125964 XT-PIC eth0
14: 6035586 XT-PIC ide0
15: 6986897 XT-PIC ide1
NMI: 0
LOC: 110544807

MIS: 0
And this is this output of the driver at initialisation:
r8169 Gigabit Ethernet driver 1.2 loaded
PCI: Found IRQ 4 for device 00:0d.0
r8169: PCI device 00:0d.0: unknown chip version, assuming RTL-8169

eth2: Identified chip type is 'RTL-8169'.
eth2: RealTek RTL8169 Gigabit Ethernet at 0xe093ff00, 00:08:01:a3:64:97, IRQ 4
eth2: Auto-negotiation Enabled.
eth2: 1000Mbps Full-duplex operation.

Servus,
