Hi!

I have the following problem since I switched from bcm4400 to the
`in-kernel' driver b44:
Sep 1 17:37:11 gandalf vmunix: b44: eth0: Link is up at 10 Mbps, half duplex.
Sep 1 17:37:11 gandalf vmunix: b44: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.
Sep 1 17:37:16 gandalf vmunix: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
Sep 1 17:37:16 gandalf vmunix: b44: eth0: transmit timed out, resetting
Sep 1 17:37:17 gandalf vmunix: b44: eth0: Link is down.
Sep 1 17:37:20 gandalf vmunix: b44: eth0: Link is up at 10 Mbps, half duplex.
Sep 1 17:37:20 gandalf vmunix: b44: eth0: Flow control is off for TX and off for RX.

and so on. This didn't (and still does not) happen with the bcm4400
(from debian sid bcm4400-source).

I compiled the kernel myself on debian/sid, it is a laptop (acer tm654).

If you need more information I will provide all I can do.

Best wishes

Norbert
