I have 2 Intel EtherExpress 16 NICs in my i386 box. With the 2.2 kernels i
get a constant stream of errors from eth0, but not eth1. This did not
happen with the 2.0 kernels and I never got around to trying the 2.1
kernels.
The error is:
eth0: tx interrupt but no status
Additional Info:
The errors increase in frequency with increased traffic on that interface.
The interface seems to function ok. No errors are reported on eth1 which
is the other EtherExpress. I am using the ip masq and firewall features of
the kernel.
>From what I can gather this is a result of the NIC giving us a "Two for
One" deal on interrupts (issuing two interrupts when only one is
appropriate). Is this correct ? Is there a fix ? or Did I
likely screw it up someplace ?
The new kernels are great ! Thanks and Keep on truckin' !
