My card is a LinkSys Etherfast 10/100, I'm running Mandrake 7.2
with the standard kernel, 2.2.17mdk. Every 5 minutes on
average my connection hangs and there is the following message:
localhost kernel: eth0: Tx hung, 15728 vs. 15723.
localhost kernel: eth0: PNIC2 transmit timed out, status
e4000000, CSR6/7 01000000 / effffbff CSR12 41e1d0cc,
resetting...
I was assuming it was due to my RoadRunner connection or maybe
the RCA cable modem. Because I have 2 relatives with the exact
same hardware/OS/everything except they're using @home and a
different modem. It's been happening ever since I got a cable
modem about 2 months ago and I've spent hours trying to contact
RoadRunner but no one ever picks up the phone or replies to
email.
Today I tried replacing the tulip from Mandrake (version 0.921)
with the test one (0.92t) but it doesn't seem to help.
Is there any number I can change in tulip.c to help the driver
work around this problem? Thanks!
