Subject[PATCH] Re: [MINOR PROBLEM] RTL8139C: transmit timed out
Hi!

> Jul 12 20:36:43 wiibroe kernel: NETDEV WATCHDOG: eth0: transmit timed out

I had the same problem with linux-2.4.6-ac2, and I found a bug
in the function rtl8139_start_xmit() of 8139too.c.

Attached patch will fix this bug.

Enjoy!
