Hello,

Hope this is an OK place to send this.

I am running on a Compaq Armada E500 laptop, and after about a days worth
of the pcmcia network card being registered, the system looses network
connectivity with the following being logged to /var/log/messages

eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e000.

eth0: Resetting the Tx ring pointer.
eth0: Tx Ring full, refusing to send buffer.

I am running pretty much stock Redhat 6.1 with kernel 2.2.17 and
pcmcia-cs 3.1.20

The card in question is a 3Com 3CCFE575BT

Ejecting and putting the card back in fixes the problem for roughly another
24
hours.

Upon re-inserting the card this is logged

vortex_detach(eth0)

  Enabling bus-master transmits and whole-frame receives.

Looks OK to me?

Any help would be much apreciated.

Also

If you can CC any replies to me, as I'm not on the list.
