just gave 2.2.0-pre4 a test on a machine with an ASUS P2B-LS mainboard
(Adaptec 7890 and Intel EEpro/100 on board).
Basically, everything works, but occasionally (3 times in 20 minutes),
the Ethernet locks up for about 10 seconds, and then continues to work.
If this happens, the kernel prints the following message:
eth0: Transmit timed out: status 0050 0000 at 53771/53787 command 00000000.
eth0: Trying to restart the transmitter...
The numbers vary - I have seen the following as well:
eth0: Transmit timed out: status 0050 0000 at 38/54 command 00000000.
eth0: Trying to restart the transmitter...
eth0: Transmit timed out: status 0050 0000 at 54/69 command 000c0000.
eth0: Trying to restart the transmitter...
eth0: Transmit timed out: status 0050 0000 at 53771/53787 command 00000000.
eth0: Trying to restart the transmitter...
The Ethernet card is connected to a 10 Mbit 10BaseT HUB. With 2.0.35,
I can not duplicate this problem.
The problem does not seem to depend on the amount of traffic that I'm
sending or receiving - doing a "ping -f" for about 50.000 packets did not
trigger it, those three cases happened when the interface was fairly idle.
Boot messages are included below.
Netstat doesn't show anything very helpful (except "3 errors"):
