References: <200205100459.XAA27925@lists.linuxppc.org> Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Sender: owner-linuxppc-dev@lists.linuxppc.org List-Id: Has anyone exercised the gt64260_eth.c driver (from the MontaVista BK tree) for any length of time? I ported it and have been using it successfully for several weeks, but find that it can't sustain continuous file transfers for more than a few hours. I'm running a loop with ftp putting/getting a 24-MB file to a remote Linux system, and find that after a few hours, the "put" times out. It happens on any of the 3 ports, and to/from several different systems (G4 Mac or PC). I run the test on the same system through a I82559 chip and it runs all weekend. The only clue I have it that the driver reports a flurry of RX CRC errors when the timeout occurs. After ftp quits, I can ping the remote system, but the RX packets seem to be mismatched with the TX (ping reports once a second, but instead of ~100 usec transit time, it reports 1.000 sec, or 2.000 sec, or 3.000 sec, as if it's getting RX packets that are 1, 2, 3 seconds old). Anyone else seen anything like this? ** Sent via the linuxppc-dev mail list. See http://lists.linuxppc.org/
