RE: [BUG][2.6.5 final][e100/ee100pro] NETDEV_WATCHDOG Timeout -Related to i2c interface?

Ok, this is strange, I put in an external 10/100 PRO S Adaptor, and im not getting anymore eth0 timeouts, I would only get eth0 timeouts on the ONBOARD nic if I enabled the lm80 sensor driver.. I don't know what to say, the onboard nic would work fine without lm80 being loaded?

Is there some sort of race condition that the onboard 10/100 PRO is doing ?

I'm confused

it could be that i2c is hooked up to the NIC for some management purpose -- maybe Scott knows.

No, something else is causing problem, don't know why i2c is?

So ACPI enabled/disabled doesn't make any difference?

Ok, did disable ACPI but still get these errors. I have noticed that if I start loading/unloading any i2c drivers I start getting eth0 timeouts....the
question is why?

Shawn, try turning off ACPI for interrupt routing. Load the kernel
with the kernel parameter "noapci" set.

You mean "acpi=off", or "pci=noacpi". If either of these fix the problem, please let me know. (and send me the dmesg and /proc/interrupts for both cases)

Yes, sorry. Can't believe I posted that to lkml. Oh well.

Ok, this is strange, I put in an external 10/100 PRO S Adaptor, and im not getting anymore eth0 timeouts, I would only get eth0 timeouts on the ONBOARD nic if I enabled the lm80 sensor driver.. I don't know what to say, the onboard nic would work fine without lm80 being loaded?

Is there some sort of race condition that the onboard 10/100 PRO is doing ?

If i2c is killing the network, sounds like it's diddling something on the motherboard it shouldn't...

Might be, I have since not had any issues with timeouts. Though, I don't know where it is doing this. It is an IBM machine so some things are proprietary.

#4 lore raw

Hi,
Anybody.........could you help me.

Steps followed.

1. insmod module.o // inserting module
2. iwconfig eth1 essid <access point> // associating with AP
3. iwconfig eth1 frag 512 // setting fragmentation
4. ping <ip of access point> -s 700

The problem here is ..............when I ping to that AP with packect size more that Frag value,69 packets it will send then it will hang.

How to overcome this
