Kernel: 2.2.13pre3 (but the same happens also with 2.2.1[012] and
2.3.12, the only kernel I used on this PC).
If I run this simple script from a client (SPARC Ultra 1 running
Solaris 2.5.1+latest updates, but I don't think it matters):
while [ 1 ] ; do ncftpget ftp://ws95/pub/what_ever_you_want.tar.gz ;
rm what_ever_you_want.tar.gz ; sleep 1 ; done
after some time (usually less the 5 minutes), ws95 (the Deskpro,
which is running wu-ftpd) can't see the *entire* network anymore; if
i do:
ifdown eth0
rmmod tlan
ifup eth0
then ws95 can see the the LAN again (just shutting down the
interface, without rmmod is not sufficient); there a no errors in the
logs. Afret reading Documentation/tlan.txt, I tried to enable debug
in the driver (compiled as a module) but I get:
root@ws95:/ # insmod tlan "debug=0x01"
/lib/modules/2.2.13pre3/net/tlan.o: invalid parameter debug
rao@ws95:~$ insmod -V
insmod version 2.1.121
Here are the (I hope) relevant infos
