eepro100.c:v1.09r 9/23/99 -- Command unit failed to mark command 00 000000 as complete at 1248491.

[Jeffrey Hundstad]

Hello,

I'm running an atalk server for about 300 users,
(netatalk-1.4b2+asun2.1.4 which is pre-asun2.1.4-35.tar.gz) and it was
failing pretty hard with the default eepro100 driver that comes with
linux-2.2.9.

Due to VERY helpful advice from this list (thanks again) I've updated
the driver to eepro100.c:v1.09r.  Things appear to be working fine
now... but I've got a few entries that might be helpful to developers
trying to debug.

In the last 3 days...

I got the following statement once at the start of the machine:
Too much work at interrupt, status=0x4050.

And I have gotten 16 of the following:
Command unit failed to mark command 00000000 as complete at 1248491.

The last number does vary.

Also my ifconfig shows MANY framming and overrun errors:

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr xx:xx:xx:xx:xx:xx  
          inet addr:134.29.xxx.xxx  Bcast:134.29.1.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
