Ah, i see.
I must admit i can't tell. As soon as i finish with the GA-71XE tests,
I'll try the K7V again. But i'm sure the card can receive packets
(*after* the timeout messages start).
I could see that running the driver with debug=7. It's just the TX queue
which is stalled. The frames are enqueued into the ring buffer, but
never get transmitted (no TX activity logging by the driver and the other
side sees no activity on the ethernet, with tcpdump).
So i guest it does get interrupts, for incoming packets, at least.
And, no, it does not recover. To recover i have the
# ifdown eth0; ifup eth0
sequence typed on console.
