| |
I have a small home network. The gateway computer is running RedHat 6.0, with RedHat's version of the kernel, 2.2.5-22. There are two ethernet cards, one is attached to a cable modem (eth0), and the other to a small 4 port hub (eth1).
eth0 uses ne2k-pci module and eth1 rtl8139
The problem is with eth0. If gateway has been running a short while, and I perform a shutdown, there aren't any problems. The longer gateway has been running however, the more likely that when I perform a shutdown, the computer will hang in the middle of the process at the stage where it is trying to unload the eth0 ne2k-pci module.
Does anyone know the cause of this? (or probable cause) Is there more information I could provide that would help to solve this problem? Are there are clues as to how I might go about fixing the problem myself? I tried to read the source code, mostly comparing the ne2k-pci module to other ethernet card modules, but perhaps I should be looking elsewhere for the problem?
any input is greatly appreciated. thanks John Kacur jkacur@vaxxine.com
