Sparc X1 Tulip Issue - NetDev

Sparc X1 Tulip Issue - NetDev

[Jim Gifford]

Dave Miller asked me to forward this report here.

I've tried reporting this several times, this issue started with 2.6.24.

It randomly just stops transmitting after receiving after an oops.

This is from a fresh install of a 2.6.30.5 kernel.

Here's the error I got a long time ago with a 2.6.26 kernel

To both lists, not seperately, but at the same time.  So that if
someone replies to you, people on both lists can see what's happening.
