2.4.19-rc1: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

From: Christian Bornträger (linux@borntraeger.net)

Hello list,

I found some of these messages in the archive, but nothing really helped me.
I have to remove the 3c59x driver , because network restart is not enough to
bring back life to my network connection.

I never saw this message with older kernels (<=2.4.18), but I moved to another
place with another network, so I am not sure if it is related to some
hardware problems or driver trouble.

The 3com shares the interrupt with some other cards on an KT133A-chipset. This
happens unfrequent but mostly when I have high traffic.

Thanks in advance

Christian
