Ok, this is strange, I put in an external 10/100 PRO S Adaptor, and im not
getting anymore eth0 timeouts, I would only get eth0 timeouts on the ONBOARD
nic if I enabled the lm80 sensor driver.. I don't know what to say, the
onboard nic would work fine without lm80 being loaded?

Is there some sort of race condition that the onboard 10/100 PRO is doing ?

I'm confused

it could be that i2c is hooked up to the NIC for some management purpose --
maybe Scott knows.

If i2c is killing the network, sounds like it's diddling something on 
the motherboard it shouldn't...

Might be, I have since not had any issues with timeouts. Though, I don't
know where it is doing this. It is an IBM machine so some things are
proprietary.

Fragmentation issue

[krupa]

Hi,
Anybody.........could you help me.

Steps followed.

1. insmod module.o              // inserting module
2. iwconfig eth1 essid <access point>  // associating with AP
3. iwconfig eth1 frag 512               // setting fragmentation
4. ping <ip of access point> -s 700

The problem here is ..............when I ping to that AP with packect size
more that Frag value,69 packets it will send then it will hang.

How to overcome this
