I use SUSE 10.0 with all=20 updates and actual kernel 2.6.13-15.8 as provided from SUSE (just self=20 compiled to optimize for Athlon64, SMP, and HZ=3D100), with an Asus A8N-E=20 motherboard, and an Athlon64x2 CPU. The onboard network card is this: 00:0a.0 Class 0680: 10de:0057 (rev a3) 00:0a.0 Bridge: nVidia Corporation CK804 Ethernet Controller (rev a3) Subsystem: ASUSTeK Computer Inc. K8N4-E Mainboard Flags: 66MHz, fast devsel, IRQ 50 Memory at 00000000d3000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=3D4K] I/O ports at b000 [size=3D8] Capabilities: [44] Power Management version 2 and the problem is that it hangs and stops working when there is a=20 higher load. Even before that, there seems to be a disturbance, as I/O=20 was quite slow: Linux server, Apple client: FTP/NFS, etc all slow. I put a Realtek8169 into the system and now it works perfect, so its=20 obviously a driver bug, as I have the same hardware in another place=20 showing the same behaviour (works on very low load, stops when really=20 used). Is there a workaround?
