[Baruch Shpirer]

Iam using the same card with the tulip driver and the network disapears from
time to time aspecially while using ftp/nfs/automount services (client wise)
Anyone seen any of this features ?

I have the latest updated+stable kernel for redhat 7.1 (12)
I have Conexant NIC & WinModem on my Compaq presario 1700XL370

restart the network only and it comes to live

Hmmm, "connection refused" likely means that the network connection is
working properly.  The other end just responded with "no" instead of what
you wanted to hear.

This looks like a routing problem, not a device driver problem.

Good.  What about the Tx count?  Note the errata: the Conexant chip
incorrectly reports carrier errors when set to full duplex mode.  The chip
sends the packet properly, it just always reports a lost carrier.
