Subject: usage of RealTek 8169 crashes my Linux system
Date: Sun, 28 Mar 2004 22:24:53 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <40673495.3050500@gmx.de> (raw)

Hi!

I'm using a RealTek 8169 1000MBit NIC. However, whenever larger amounts 
of data are being transfered (copying files through smb for instance) 
Linux crashes. It happens after 10MB-100MB transferred data so it's 
never as stable as it should be. The whole System runs fine as long as 
that Realtek 8169 NIC is not used (by transferring data through it). 
When it crashes there is no entry for that event in kern.log and the 
system just hangs.

I'm using:
Linux 2.6.4
gcc 3.3.3
2X Athlon MP 2600 Mhz
Tyan Tiger S2466N-4M Dual / AMD760MPX
2x 512MB ECC/REG Infineon DDR PC266 RAM
Debian (unstable)

Any idea how to fix it? Is that driver getting stable in the next months 
or are there obstacles that should make me buy a different NIC (like 
missing docs for that chipset and stuff like that)?

TIA
Bernd Fuhrmann
