I have a problem with 3c59x network driver. After some time (now it happened after 6 days of uptime) the card stops transmitting packets. Interrupt counter increments, the card recieves and trasmits some buffers, but the more time, the less packets are trasmitted and in the end it stops trasmitting at all. I don't know how to debug this, rmmod and modprobe of the module back helps to solve this for some time. What kind of info should I post and how to track this nasty thing down? Note, that this is server and hence things like bisecting is no-go for me. # lspci -vvxs 00:0e 00:0e.0 Ethernet controller: 3Com Corporation 3c905B 100BaseTX [Cyclone] (rev 64) Subsystem: 3Com Corporation 3C905B Fast Etherlink XL 10/100 Control: I/O+ Mem+ BusMaster+ SpecCycle- MemWINV+ VGASnoop- ParErr- Stepping- SERR- FastB2B- Status: Cap+ 66MHz- UDF- FastB2B- ParErr- DEVSEL=medium >TAbort- SERR-
