Linux-2.6.0-test8, e1000 timeouts.

Hello folks,

I keep getting timeouts before my Intel NIC is offered a lease from DHCP server.

Kernel 2.4.22/2.4.23-pre7 and 2.6.0-test1-7/mm worked fine with the same configuration/hardware.

The NIC is onboard Intel OEM chip on GIGABYTE 7NNXP Nforce2 board.

System is Slackware Linux 9.1
GCC 3.2.3
module-init-tools version 0.9.14
Linux blaze 2.6.0-test8 #1 Sat Oct 18 01:25:35 EDT 2003 i686 unknown unknown GNU/Linux

Here's a snip from dmesg:

Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - version 5.2.20-k1 Copyright (c) 1999-2003 Intel Corporation.
eth0: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Connection
e1000: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
e1000: eth0 NIC Link is Up 100 Mbps Full Duplex

lsmod : e1000 84032 0

I can provide more info upon request.

i got this in /var/log/messages with 3c59x on 2.6.0-test8, and lan is very slow:

did you test the transfer-rate? i got 3 KB/s in a local network :-(

It seems a bit low
