Hello,

I'm having a problem with some D-LINK DFE-580TX four port cards on my
network using the sundance driver.

this causes consoles and everything else to freeze up for up to 30
seconds and i have quite a few machines using these cards so it's
becoming a serious issue.

I am using Fedora Core 2 with kernel 2.6.8-1.521

I am using Nortel Baystack 350-24T switches

Any help would be appreciated.

If there is any furthur information I can provide, I'm more than happy
to do so.

Thx in advance,
