'Transmit Timed out ' problem not fixed after upgrade the driver

[Martin Siu]

Dear all,

My linux box is Redhat 6.0 with Kernel 2.2.5-15CLE and the network 
card is Intel EEPRO 100. It is used to run the 'tcpdump' command to 
capture the network traffic. Same as you, I always got a 'Time out' 
problem when running the application for a long time in past. 
Yesterday, I have upgraded the driver from v1.09l to v1.09t. Today I 
can telnet to the system and assume that everything seems OK. 
Unfortunately, I get the error message again when I am using the ftp 
to get the application results and the error message is shown as 
below.

Could anyone tell me what I need to do? Is it necessary to add any 
parameters / options when installing the eepro100 modules?  I will 
plan to build up the proxy server later, but the network card problem 
can make me to stop on here.

Regards,


Martin Siu
