2.4.19-rc1: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out
Hello list,
I found some of these messages in the archive, but nothing really helped me. I have to remove the 3c59x driver , because network restart is not enough to bring back life to my network connection.
I never saw this message with older kernels (<=2.4.18), but I moved to another place with another network, so I am not sure if it is related to some hardware problems or driver trouble.
The 3com shares the interrupt with some other cards on an KT133A-chipset. This happens unfrequent but mostly when I have high traffic.
Thanks in advance
Christian

The 3com shares the interrupt with some other cards on an KT133A-chipset. This happens unfrequent but mostly when I have high traffic.
I have seen interrupt problems with that chipset when sharing interrupts with the onboard stuff. I had to disable the 2nd serial port to get a NIC working, and I still see spurrious INT from the parallel port, which I need. Even when not in use it babbles.
