Hi there,
I am one of the people having problems with the eepro 100... Here is my output at dmesg time...
eth0: Intel EtherExpress Pro 10/100 at 0xd000, 00:90:27:9D:0D:6B, IRQ 10. Receiver lock-up bug exists -- enabling work-around. Board assembly 721383-007, Physical connectors present: RJ45 Primary interface chip i82555 PHY #1. General self-test: passed. Serial sub-system self-test: passed. Internal registers self-test: passed. ROM checksum self-test: passed (0x04f4518b)
This is what appears in the /var/log/messages when it goes mad.... Jan 20 16:55:58 he1 kernel: eth0: Transmit timed out: status 0050 0080 at 20930677/20930691 command 000c0000. Jan 20 16:55:58 he1 kernel: eth0: Trying to restart the transmitter... Jan 20 16:56:03 he1 kernel: eth0: Transmit timed out: status 0050 0090 at 20930677/20930691 command 000c0000.

Jan 20 16:56:08 he1 kernel: eth0: Trying to restart the transmitter... Jan 20 16:56:13 he1 kernel: eth0: Transmit timed out: status 0050 0090 at 20930677/20930691 command 000c0000. Jan 20 16:56:13 he1 kernel: eth0: Trying to restart the transmitter...
This continues ad infinitum.... I tried the patched driver in 2.2.15pre3 and that gave a different error. IT said out of memory...
Normally with the error above I can get control of the machine via a serial console and reboot it. However with the new kernel, I can't even get the serial console up.
One other thing on the topic of serial consoles. I have a serial console setup to a box. I have added the line to /etc/inittab and I am using the same kernel as I am using on one of my other boxes. The other box's serial console works fine. However on this box, I go into minicom and hit enter. I then get a login prompt and type a user name. It then never comes back with a password prompt. On the other box I get a password prompt immediately and am able to login. Is there something that I haven't installed that is causing this ?
Thanks a stack!
