Lampert (EED)" Organization: Ericsson EuroLab X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.78 [en] (X11; U; Linux 2.4.18 i586) X-Accept-Language: en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Subject: 3c59x driver: card not responding after a while Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: linux-kernel-owner@vger.kernel.org X-Mailing-List: linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org Hello, I'm having (reproducable) problems with the 3c59x driver; after a while (depends on card/traffic), the card doesn't send nor receive anymore. I had 3c905B and 3c905C series, both affected. I did also change mainboard-slots. My current card is identifying as: 00:0c.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905C-TX [Fast Etherlink] (rev 74) Subsystem: 3Com Corporation 3C905C-TX Fast Etherlink for PC Management NIC Flags: bus master, medium devsel, latency 64, IRQ 11 I/O ports at e800 [size=128] Memory at ed000000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128] Expansion ROM at ec000000 [disabled] [size=128K] Capabilities: [dc] Power Management version 2 Kernels were o RH 7.2 stock (2.4.7) o 2.4.17 (custom, driver builtin) (after a while) o 2.4.18 (custom, driver builtin) (depending on traffic, last time: [ifconfig output after the device is frozen] RX packets:249782 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:94 frame:0 TX packets:32712 errors:0 dropped:0 overruns:0 carrier:0 collisions:0 txqueuelen:100 RX bytes:49988234 (47.6 Mb) TX bytes:8716361 (8.3 Mb) 2.2.19 worked fine. gcc -v is gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.1 2.96-98) (std from RH 7.2; no 'kgcc' available) I saw no changes in 2.4.19*, so I went out asking you :) Machine is a K6-2 500 via a VIA MVP3 chipset, Shuttle mainboard (if that matters). If you do a /etc/init.d/network restart (or ifconfig eth0 down ; ifconfig eth0 ... up), the card works again. dmesg is not reporting anything. I also did force the card to using fixed 100BaseTx-FD, didn't change anything. If you need further information or more testing please say so. Please also include me on CC. Thanks. -- Ronny T.
