           Summary: tg3 transmit timeout kills interface
           Product: Drivers
           Version: 2.5
    Kernel Version: 2.6.29.5-191.fc11.x86_64
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux
              Tree: Fedora
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P1
         Component: Network
        AssignedTo: [email protected]
        ReportedBy: [email protected]
        Regression: No

Kernel messages dumped to /var/log/messages

Overview:
Starting with Fedora 10, and continuing in Fedora 11, I started getting the kernel dump in /var/log/messages (see attachment) at least once a day, regardless of network load on the machine. After this message, the network interface no longer works, and I have to reboot. I don't recall ever having this issue with Fedora 8/9 (I ran each of those for roughly 7 months).

It looks like Fedora 10 shipped with kernel 2.6.27, so that's roughly when I started seeing this issue.

Steps to Reproduce: Leave my laptop up and plugged into a wired network for 12 hours or so.

Additional Information:
I have a Dell Latitude D630 with a Broadcom ethernet card; as reported by lspci:
09:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5755M Gigabit Ethernet PCI Express (rev 02)

Thanks, I'll mark this as a regression.

The nvidia driver tainted the kernel. People might want to know whether the problem can be reproduced in a kernel which never had the nvidia driver loaded.

Here's the log:
