2.2.17 & Eepro(10)

2.2.17 & Eepro(10)

[Jeroen Geusebroek]

Hello,

I'm having troubles with the eepro driver included in kernel 2.2.17.
It stops sometimes with no apparent reason. The one thing i noticed
is that it seems to have a lot of carrier problems(998!)

This is part of the result from ifconfig:

eth1      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:AA:00:A6:05:01  
          inet addr:24.132.xx.xxx  Bcast:24.132.xx.xxx  Mask:255.255.254.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:248714 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:64711 errors:1925 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:998
          collisions:832 txqueuelen:100 
          Interrupt:10 Base address:0x230

Needless to say i didn't have this problem with previous kernels
(including 2.2.16).

Is there something changed in the driver for 2.2.17?

Thanks for the help.

Regards,

Jeroen Geusebroek

	I have similar problems, though I don't have any carrier problems:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:A0:C9:66:12:9B  
          inet addr:xx.xx.xx.xx  Bcast:xx.xx.xx.xx  Mask:255.255.255.0
          UP BROADCAST RUNNING MULTICAST  MTU:1500  Metric:1
          RX packets:214835 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 frame:0
          TX packets:33050 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0
          collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 
          Interrupt:9 Base address:0xe0e0 

	Seems to just drop out when there hasn't been any activity for
a while for me though.  Give it about 10-15 seconds and it comes back.

Linux junior 2.2.17-raid #1 Wed Nov 8 07:48:57 EST 2000 i686 unknown

	I didn't run this machine very long w/ 2.2.16 so I don't really
know if previous versions had the same problem.  If I have some time,
perhaps over the weekend, I'll try and find out.
