I actually have the same issue but I am not seeing any performance
loss. I do extensive NFS transfers as this box also stores a software raid
array, and aside from the kernel message, I am unaffected.

- From what I understand the problem is a hardware bug, and I believe I read
somewhere that by forcing the network card to use its own IRQ and not
having it share an IRQ will alleviate this problem.

Hope this helps ....

On a side note I run this nic on about 10 production web servers running
fbsd 3.5 receiving extensive traffic loads and have no problems with them
at all.

Hi!

We've got a lot of machines with the eepro 100 from intel onboard, and when
we try to stress-test the network (running bonnie++ on a nfs-shared
directory on a machine), the network-card says "eth0: Card reports no
resources" to dmesg, and then the "line" appear dead for some time (one
minutte or more). What can be done to remove this error? NFS timesout with
this error (obviously)...
