Switching to the e100 module has solved all issues with that card. Both of these machines are Pogo linux rack mount units, and Pogo's default RH 7.1 install is using the e100 driver also. For grins, I swithed those boxes to the eepro100, and both lost their network connections within a few hours if lightly loaded, and they lost it just a few minutes into large (>100 meg) file transfers. Ftp or NFS, it didn't matter. (The kernel kept running, the console was usable. Unloading the eepro100 didn't work, however, the machine needed a power off reboot to get the net back) After reinstalling RH 7.1 on both machines, and changing the detected eepro100 driver back to the e100, the machines have not crashed since they were put into service, some 20 days ago. FWIW, one Pogo box has an Intel i810 MB, with onboard eepro100 eth, and an additional pci intel nic, the other is a Tyan Thunder LE S2510, with a pair of onboard nics. -- Don Krause ph: 909.799.8327 Systems Administrator page: 909.512.0174 Optivus Technology, Inc e-mail: dkrause@optivus.com "Splitting Atoms..
