Lots of rx overrun errors

[Beger Tomasz]

Hello,

I'm using 3c509C card with driver 0.99L on Red Hat Linux 6.1 and under a
heavy load, some 23kpps received, and after some hard disk activity
(probably cache flushing) the card stops receiving packets and starts
incrementing RX overrun errors. From that moment it seems all received
packets are counted up as an overrun error. Usually message "too much work
in the interrupt" appears on the console and in the /var/log/messages file.
The only remedy for that problem is to cycle the interface (stop and then
restart it).

Regards,

Tomek
