Subject3c509bTP: eth0: transmit timed out (ugh)
Hi I'm running 2.1.123(3c509.c:1.12) and for awhile now(older kernels
too,) large amounts of traffic cause this card to stop transmitting with
the error:

eth0: transmit timed out, Tx_status a0 status 2004 Tx FIFO room 1440

The situation is completely reproducable. In fact only 2 concurrent ping
floods to a nearby host using a ne2000 clone trigger the stop of all
transmision(for about a second). Is this common? Glancing at the source,
my only guess would be some kind of hardware problem or queue filling up
too fast... Help! :)

Running on a dual ppro-200.

Thanks

- Chris
