Transmit timed out/transmit timer stopped! More info...

[Steve Bergman]

Hi,

Thank you to the people who have responded to my message.

I have some more info which may help pinpoint the problem.

(Cards: New linksys LNE100TX NICS)

My ftp torture tests can run for hours before failing.  However, I can cause
0.90f to fail within minutes if I start playing a real video feed on the
machine with the error.  The feed comes in through my cable modem which happens
to have a 10mbit/s interface.

I have been using kernel 2.2.14 with the 0.90f driver.  I upgraded the driver
back to the standard 0.91g that is in stock 2.2.14 and things may have improved
some.  I can get all the way through a 5 minute realvideo feed , but as soon as
the feed ended, the NIC hung with messages (debug level is at default.  Driver
compiled as module) like this:

I would, of course, be glad to perform any specific tests.

Thanks,
