Hello everyone,

I have the following problem:
In a cluster of Tyan S2468. This MB has 2 3COM 3c980-TX 10/100baseTX NIC 
[Python-T] (rev 78)
Using RH 7.3 driver 3c59x  version LK1.1.16
Under heavy load the driver generates lots of RX overrun error.
I have increased max_interrupt_work to 128 as suggested in a mailing 
list and recompiled the driver.
Did some statistic (ratio number of RX packet/RX overrun) before and 
after the modification and the ratio stay the same. As confirm by Donald 
Becker it's not the solution.
Try to compile and load the latest driver from SCYLD.
Compile OK but when I load the module I have some  undefined symbol
3c59x_SCYLD.o: unresolved symbol acpi_wake
3c59x_SCYLD.o: unresolved symbol acpi_set_pwr_state
3c59x_SCYLD.o: unresolved symbol pci_drv_unregister
3c59x_SCYLD.o: unresolved symbol pci_drv_register
Thanks
Claude
