Subject: rtl8139: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
Date: Fri, 30 Jun 2006 11:23:05 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <e82qhq$4v0$1@sea.gmane.org> (raw)

I'm seeing this problem on my Acer Travelmate 223X laptop with built-in
Realtek 8139: The ethernet stops working, usually after at most a few
minutes operation. The problem appears in kernel 2.6.16 and 2.6.17, but not
in 2.6.15.

It prints the following in the syslog:

Jun 28 07:50:36 kelev kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
Jun 28 07:50:39 kelev kernel: eth0: link up, 100Mbps, half-duplex, lpa

Jun 28 07:51:24 kelev kernel: eth0: link up, 100Mbps, half-duplex, lpa
0x40A1

I've exchanged the hub and network cables, to no avail.
