How is the 3c59x networking in the lastest patch (pre11 ??)? I'm running
2.0.32 and I've started to receive those damn

eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status 8000
eth0: transmit timed out, tx_status 00 status e000

errors.. I've also been noticing an abnormal amount of collisions from my
3c59x and ne2000 cards. In 2.0.29, I don't remember ever having these
problems.. Unfortunately, I can't downgrade because I need some of the
lastest networking features. Is there a patch for 2.0.32? I'd be willing
to test any of the lastest patches also...

What about 2.1.x? Is the lastest 2.1.x kernel stable (more stable than
2.0.34pre11)? And how is its network drivers?

Thanks

BTW- What is the best thing to due when I start receiving those errors?
Reboot or will Linux stablize the card again?
