I am getting the following errors, from a 486 computer
with ISA EtherExpress 16:
Sep 14 15:50:57 share kernel: eth0: transmit aborted, too many collisions
Sep 14 15:51:31 share kernel: eth0: tx interrupt but no status
Sep 14 15:52:02 share last message repeated 2 times
Sep 14 15:52:27 share last message repeated 3 times
Sep 14 15:52:54 share kernel: eth0: transmit aborted, too many collisions
Sep 14 15:57:51 share kernel: eth0: tx interrupt but no status
Sep 14 15:58:04 share kernel: eth0: tx interrupt but no status
Sep 14 15:58:37 share kernel: eth0: tx interrupt but no status
thats over a ten minute period. It is possible that the "too
many collisions" is from an overloaded network, but it looks
suspicious to me. (how can I tell?)
It might be possible that this errors are preventing me from
making reliable ftp transmissions. However, I haven't
isolated this problem yet, and it may be elsewhere. Everything
else seems to work fine.
I have the Etherexpress 16 driver compiled into the kernel
(not as a module). It reports, when loading:
Sep 3 08:27:26 share kernel: eth0: EtherExpress 16 at 0x300 (IRQ 5, RJ45 connector, 16-bit bus, 32k RAM)
I have:
share:~# uname -a
Linux share 2.2.12 #2 Thu Sep 2 09:37:30 EST 1999 i486 unknown
ifconfig reports only 39 errors for 14 days, which seems small
compared with the number of messages I get in /var/log/kern.log
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
