| |
I have an Intel Ether Express 16 card in a compaq/eisa 486/66 at work and I have had nothing but troubles with the ethernet card. Basically, any time I attempt to move a large amount of data through the network via ftp or nfs(to/from sunos 4.1.3 or solaris 2.5), the transfer will appear to hang and I get a message indicating, "CU wedged - status xx4x xxxx - resetting..."(note that the 4 is the only character in the status that is always the same - the other x's represent changing numbers). Sooner or later, the machine locks solid and I have to power cycle it.
This is on linux-2.0, and it appears irregardless of what options are chosen in the configure script(well, lets just say I've recompiled this kernel more than 12 times with different options :( ). I looked in the eexpress.c file and it indicates there that this is a problem with the driver, but it also says this should be a rare occurrance -- not every single time. telnet/rlogin sessions work fine most of the time(Hmm -- maybe we should put a short duration sleep in the send code and see what it does since tcpdump doesn't give me any problems recieving packets? -- ideas? suggestions? )
Does anyone have more information on this one? Does anyone want more information on this one? - email me.

ps - this machine is not on the public net, so getting information may take me a day or so since I have to get it via floppy-net.
