Subject: bug in via-rhine network-driver (transmit timed out)
Date: Sun, 17 Nov 2002 08:59:45 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <981227431.20021117085945@linux01.gwdg.de> (raw)

Hi,

my Linux-PC (Kernel 2.4.19, SuSE 8.1)
has two PCI D-LINK DFE530-TX network card (10/100mbit) using driver via-rhine.o
Sometimes one or both of the interfaces (eth0/eth1) "time out", which means I
cannot send or transmit any more packets on this interface.

When I do a 'dmesg' I get these error-messages:

NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 782d, resetting...
eth0: reset did not complete in 10 ms.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 782d, resetting...
eth0: reset did not complete in 10 ms.
eth0: Setting half-duplex based on MII #8 link partner capability of 0021.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 782d, resetting...
eth0: reset did not complete in 10 ms.
...and so on

or:
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out
eth1: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 782d, resetting...
eth1: reset did not complete in 10 ms.
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth1: transmit timed out
eth1: Transmit timed out, status 0000, PHY status 782d, resetting...
eth1: reset did not complete in 10 ms.
...

I had the same problem with the D-LINK DFE-530TX-cards some time ago
with earlier releases of the 2.4.x-Kernel.
If I do a 'ifconfig eth0/eth1 down', 'rmmod via-rhine' and then
again 'modprove via-rhine' and 'ifconfig up...' it works again but
this is no real solution - I think it's a bug in the driver, isn't it?

This is my version of the via-rhine module:
V_NAME        "via-rhine"
DRV_VERSION     "1.1.14"
DRV_RELDATE     "May-3-2002"

Here are some informations about my system which may be helpful:
