Bug report, as much information as I can give...

[Winged Wolf]

-interesting-.

With the L version of the driver, I get the same output from mii-diag, but
when I try to do the ping, I get:

eth0: Host error, FIFO diagnostic register 0000.

I get losts of these, then:

eth0: Too much work in interrupt, status 8003.  Temporarily disabling
functions (7ffc).

Then:
eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e000.

(I get this one about once every 5 seconds, apparently ad infinitum.)

Any ideas?
