OK, after a little trouble applying the patch, here's what I found:
Starting with the card in working condition, I tried "via-diag -aaeemm -I" and there was no change in functionality. Running the ifconfig toggle also had no overall effect. Then I tried "via-diag -aaeemm -i" (running a pinger in another console) and noted that the pinger stopped working when the command was run. However, running "via-diag -aaeemm -I" did not change that situation. The ifconfig toggle did correctly restart operation.
Examining the system log after the above showed that at some point during the sequence the kernel emitted a series of "transmit timed out" log-entry pairs as shown in my last mail. Also, I noticed that while running -i the receive status was listed as "unicast/hashed multicast" and while running -I the receive status was "unknown/invalid".
Do you want me to try this again, after first setting the card into non-working condition?
