Known problems?
Hi,
I changed my networking card back to my dlink DFE-580tx (one of those 4 port 100mbit cards that uses the alta chipset). And now the watchdog keep killing the connection.
The max bw that is being used is aprox 5.5 megabyte/s (to avoid confusion). Has there been any work done with this recently or during 2.5/6 development? Afair i had no problems with it in 2.4.x when my firewall used it.

FYI;
Other than beeing a slow card with mmio-bugs, the only problems I have had with that card was when having a kernel patched with the now defunct and buggy IMQ. Problems were identical.

Yeah i know about the MMIO bit, but i never had this problem before... Even when loading it with full 100mbit bw (but that was on 2.4).
Can't it be to paranoid watchdog timings?
(Btw, what is IMO, I'd think it meant 'in my opinion' but, heh =))

I have not used the card since around 2.6.4, but it worked fine back then. Did some performance testing on it, with high data and packets/s rates, so it did get a fair amount of beating.

Not IMO, IMQ, Q as in q ;-)
If you don't know what it is, you most likely aren't using it. I'm not avare of any distributions having it applied. It's used for combinding several network packet queues into one for example.

Yeah, I noticed when testing that it is when you make use of fullduplex that the driver goes all ape. Ie, the report i sent was about 1mb/s up and the rest down of the total 5.5 mb/s.

Which might help the case that i saw... Is it avail from somewhere?
My main problem is that enough of these watchdog thingies and i have reboot the machine to reinit the hw. (ie, hw is constantly down no matter what you do... )

RX packets:26633293 errors:0 dropped:672 overruns:0 frame:0
TX packets:10031287 errors:132 dropped:3960 overruns:0carrier:0
To my knowledge all those drops was yesterday during a 2 hour period.. This is a local switched lan with flowcontrol enabled. Couldn't this be tx getting nuts due to delays that rx packets causes?
Thus:
NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
eth0: Transmit timed out, TxStatus 00 TxFrameId 14, resetting...
Anyways, something is wrong... but i assume it could be pci related:
5: 43355556 XT-PIC eth0 10: 19987656 XT-PIC aic7xxx, eth3 --- LOC: 143364244 ERR: 406517
---
Any clues?
